The Central Office is the official industry body that prepares the AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM.

Academic and in-service instructors can easily arrange course outlines and study exercises around Handbook chapters to train new and experienced coders. Each Handbook contains 100-plus exercises and review questions plus, 269 case summary exercises that are based on real patient records.
