Every year, CPT codes change—and every year, pediatric practices face the same challenge: staying compliant while ensuring they get paid for the care they provide. Coding for Pediatrics 2025 tackles this head-on with comprehensive coverage of all the latest code updates, written specifically for pediatric healthcare providers and their billing teams.
The 2025 update brings significant changes you need to know about. This edition introduces a completely new chapter on telemedicine code changes, reflecting how digital healthcare continues to evolve. You'll also find updated immunization coding guidelines, new codes for reporting contraception services, and revisions to skin substitute graft coding. Each change comes with expert guidance on proper application, so you're not just memorizing codes—you're understanding how to use them correctly in real clinical scenarios.
Rather than dumping everything into one overwhelming section, this manual is thoughtfully divided into four parts that mirror how pediatric practices actually work:
Your purchase includes an access code for online supplemental materials that make daily coding easier. Download general documentation checklists, chronic care management tracking worksheets, and care plan oversight service templates. There's even a continuing education quiz that lets you earn 4.0 CEUs from the American Academy of Professional Coders, helping you maintain your credentials while sharpening your skills.
What sets this manual apart are the updated vignettes and coding examples scattered throughout each chapter. These aren't abstract scenarios—they're drawn from real pediatric practice situations, showing you exactly how to apply codes in specific circumstances. The "coding pearls" highlighted throughout provide those expert insights that usually only come from years of experience.
The appendices include a handy table of pediatric vaccine product codes and the answer key for the "Test Your Knowledge" sections, making this as much a learning tool as a reference guide.
Whether you're a seasoned coder wanting to stay sharp, a pediatrician managing your own billing, or part of a practice's administrative team, this manual gives you the confidence that comes from knowing your coding is accurate, compliant, and optimized for proper reimbursement.
