The internet is a great place to find information for medical occupations. Here are just a few of the resources I use.


DIAGNOSIS CODES (ICD-9)

FLASH CODE
Flash code is an excellent source for free ICD-9 coding. You get unlimited access to current ICD-9 codes and you can even search by keywords to find the code you need.

ICD9.CHRISENDRES
Similar to Flash Code, this site is great for finding diagnosis codes through search.

ICD9DATA
This site is the simplest. It's a search engine for diagnosis codes.

WIKIPEDIA
If you use this site to find information about medical conditions, it also gives you the icd-9 code. I recommend you look up the code you find against Flash Code because sometimes the code is missing a fifth digit or it's not the code you're looking for.


PROCEDURE CODES (CPT)

These are the hardest codes to find because they are copyrighted by the Americian Medical Association. I've come across a few sites that might help though.

AMABOOKSTORE
What's nice about this site is that it also provides the amount that Medicare will pay.

GOOGLE
Believe it or not, I use google all the time to find CPT codes. You can find a lot of pdf files through this search engine that may be exactly what you were looking for.


FORUMS

Forums can be a life saver when you need to ask questions and find answers to questions. It's also a nice place to learn new things and help other people.
