Reimbursement Resource book and Ingenix coding book

[Guest guest]

Hello to group.

Has anyone purchased one or both of these books: The Reimbursement

Resource Book by the APTA and INGENIX For the Physical Therapist

Coding and Payment guide for the Physical Therapist. I am curious

about how helpful each of these manuals may or may not be. I know

there are lots of variables why the book may be effective for one

clinic over another. I would be interested in any feedback.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have purchased the Ingenix book and I found it very helpful. It

condenses CPT codes and ICD-9 for easy reference vs. having to buy the

entire CPT or ICD books separately.

Chad- We use the Ingenix Reimbursement guide and it is very helpful for

coding not only with CPT, but ICD-9s. It does give some CPT codes that I

feel are very unrelated to PT, but overall it is helpful if you are needing

a definition of the CPT codes and what they include in an easy to use format

and one location. It also discusses a little about billing and

reimbursement. Hope this helps.
