Wiki Recomend a book on Spinal surgery Coding?

[Orthocoderpgu]

I've been coding ortho for about 7 months now and my boss wants me to learn spinal surgeries. Is there a good book out there I can get for referrence? If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks.

I really like Optum's Coding Companion for Neurosurgery/Neurology. It's the only book I've come across. I also like Karen Zupko's website, www.karenzupko.com , if you can access it. Has lots of spine coding info, with archived questions you can search.

Hope this helps!

It's a manual produced by NASS.
