About the Author
This book was written by one of the industry’s leading Medical Coding Instructors, Mrs. Delissa Ortega. Highly recognized and esteemed in the industry, Mrs. Ortega used every ounce of her expertise to carefully study the medical coding concepts that are frequently utilized in the real world and tested on certification exams. With great determination, she brings to the industry a colossal amount of knowledge in a “bite size,” progressive-type format.
She wrote every case keeping in mind that a “well-written” case will expose what the learner doesn’t know. This prompted the meticulous undertaking of the case studies she breaks down. After writing the cases, she moved onto the extensive answer key rationales. This is where she approached every case with a heart of compassion and a spirit of servanthood to the learner. Here she reveals her treasured trade secrets and teaches the learner how to completely obliterate the misfortunes that testers are often left vulnerable to.
