Course: SkillsCom CRS 210 14.0 > Section: Credit Unit 2 Module 1

Congratulations, you have completed the first Credit Unit and now you are ready to add more information to your medical coding knowledge bank! Great job! How do the Endocrine and Nervous Systems sound for your next stop in this coding language adventure?

The American Academy of Professional Coders (2014) stated that:

This chapter will discuss CPT®, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Level II coding for the Endocrine and Nervous systems. The majority of CPT® codes relevant to these systems are found within the 60000–64999 range, with additional codes found in the Medicine section (90000-series). Procedures may range from major or minor surgery, to diagnostic and therapeutic injection, and electrodiagnostic testing (such as electromyography or nerve conduction studies) (p. 441).
