Medical Coding Resources

A medical coder always needs to have his knowledge updated and need to continue his education throughout the career. As we know, every year on Oct 1, the ICD-9 CM gets updated and on Jan 1 of every year CPT and HCPCS gets updated.

All Medical coders need to follow Coding Clinics and CPT Assistants where you can have your knowledge updated.

The coding edge magazine from AAPC is also a very good magazine to follow. The journals from both the AHIMA and AAPC are valuable and knowledge gaining.

There are many blogs and forums over net where you can be part of them and share your knowledge with them. Keep reading articles on coding whenever you have time.
