Authored by Nelly Leon-Chisen, RHIA, Director of Coding and Classification for the AHA Central Office, the Handbooks contain the most accurate and up-to-date information available, enhanced illustrations, a built-in workbook of case summary exercises, and over 200 chapter-based and final review exercises. Two versions of the handbooks are available: one with answers and one without.

The handbook’s format and style of presentation follows that of previous editions inspired by the Faye Brown approach to coding instruction. The text leads students to logical answers and provides primary supporting sources. This logical approach has enabled the Handbook to become the most popular textbook for hospital and physician office coder training.
