Selecting diagnosis codes is faster and easier with Buck's 2026 ICD-10-CM for Physicians. Designed by coders for coders, this full-color manual includes all the ICD-10 codes that you need to code medical services provided in physicians’ offices and outpatient settings. As coders need extensive knowledge to code with ICD-10-CM — and to choose from the thousands of possible codes — this edition makes it easier with colorful anatomy plates (including Netter’s Anatomy illustrations) to help you understand anatomy and how it can affect your code choices. In addition, it comes with durable spiral binding and includes a companion website with the latest coding updates.
- At-a-glance Guide to the 2026 ICD-10-CM Updates in the front of the book lists all new, revised, and deleted codes, providing quick lookup of the coding changes
- Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (OGCRs) are listed in full at the beginning of the book, with chapter-specific guidelines listed and integrated within the code set, providing easier reference to coding rules when they are needed most
- UNIQUE! Full-color anatomy plates (including Netter’s Anatomy art) are included in a separate section for easy reference and cross-referenced within the Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries, to help you understand anatomy and how it may affect choosing codes
- Full-color design includes consistent color-coded symbols and text, providing easier access to codes and coding information
- American Hospital Association's Coding Clinic® citations include official ICD-10-CM coding advice relating to specific codes and their usage
- More than 190 illustrations provide visual orientation and enhance understanding of specific coding situations
- Items are included throughout the Tabular List to ensure accurate coding, providing additional information on common diseases and conditions
- Additional elements within specific codes define terms and add coding instructions relating to difficult terminology, diseases and conditions, or coding in a specific category
- Symbols and highlights draw attention to codes that may require special consideration before coding, including:
- New, Revised, and Deleted
