Why Did I Write This Textbook?1. To appeal to beginners and keep students engaged
in learning a difficultsubjectRelevant for everyone Incorporated students’ questions
2. To write in a way that is easy for students to read and understandSpeaks directly to students in a classroomNot copied from the coding manualsWalk-through examplesTables, including bulleted and numbered pointsDid not sacrifice content

Why Did I Write This Textbook? (cont.)
3. To allow instructors to teach coding without being “the constant liaison”
Homework can be assigned without fear Students can understand the basics by reading Works with instructors, not against them Saves instructors’ time
4. To incorporate all the tools for success Anatomy and physiology texts or medical dictionary not
mandatory Medical terminology text not mandatory Internet searches not mandatory

a. General E Code Coding Guidelines – From the ICD-9-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting1) Used with any code in the range of 001-V91-An E code from categories E800-E999 may be used with any code in the range of 001-V91, which indicates an injury, poisoning, or adverse effect due to an external cause.-An activity E code (categories E001-E030) may be used with any code in the range of 001-V91 that indicates an injury, or other health condition that resulted from an activity, or the activity contributed to a condition.
2) Assign the appropriate E code for all initial treatments-Assign the appropriate E code for the initial encounter of an injury, poisoning, or adverse effect of drugs, not for subsequent treatment.-External cause of injury codes (E-codes) may be assigned while the acute fracture codes are still applicable.See Section I.C.17.b.1 for coding of acute fractures.
