Clinical Practice Guidelines + Codes (CPG + Codes, for short) are the most credible resources in the market, combining quick-reference versions of official clinical guidelines with ICD-10-CM and CPT® codes.

Each title in this digital series is based on a set of condition- or disease-specific guidelines that are reviewed and approved by the authoring organization prior to publication. These summarizations of the original, full-text guidelines never omit or alter important information. The addition of ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes and CPT® procedure and service codes facilitate documentation and billing.

Guidelines are typically updated or reaffirmed every 3 to 5 years. ICD-10-CM and CPT® codes are updated yearly. (Annual code updates correspond to respective implementation dates.)

The roots of the American Thoracic Society reach back to 1905, when a small group of physicians decided that the best way to improve care for tuberculosis patients was to share their experiences and discoveries. Today, the ATS has grown into an international society with more than 15,000 members. In this introductory section, you will find information about the people and programs that make the ATS the world's leading medical association dedicated to advancing our clinical and scientific understanding of pulmonary diseases, critical illnesses and sleep-related breathing disorders.

The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) represents physicians, scientists and other health care professionals who specialize in infectious diseases. IDSA's purpose is to improve the health of individuals, communities, and society by promoting excellence in patient care, education, research, public health, and prevention relating to infectious diseases.
