Hi,

I'm starting out as an orthopedic coder/biller. Does anyone know of tips or recommended books/charts

I haven't taken A+P. I'm just looking for the basics.

thanks,
Grace
 
I would get a musculskeletal coloring book, you can find one at Barnes and Noble in the medical text book section.
Alos I recommend a coders desk reference for procedures which you can also get or order from the book store ( it is Ingenix publisher)
 
Ortho Dictionary

I would definitely invest in an orthopedic dictionary as you will be encountering terms that may require further clarification that even your coders desk reference won't be able to completely explain.
