Guidelines + Codes

We offer two different options for organizational / multi-user subscriptions. The first option provides individual accounts for each user. The second option provides a single account for all users that are part of your subscription. Discounts are also available for multi-user subscriptions. Please contact us for more information.
Each guideline is on a slightly different revision/update schedule. Most guidelines are either updated or reaffirmed every 3-5 years. The codes are updated on a yearly basis.
Each quick-reference guideline is reviewed and approved by the authoring organization prior to publishing. In many cases the chairs/co-chairs of the original guideline serve as the expert reviewers. You can always rest assured that, even though the guidelines are much shorter than the original (full-text) version, no important information is ever omitted or changed in any way/shape/form. As far as the codes, they are provided directly by the experts at AMA (for CPT) and AAPC (for ICD 10). So this product has the backing and endorsement of some of the most credible and well-respected organizations in healthcare.
We add more throughout the year and currently offer over 240 guideline titles with codes.

Library and Free Content

Our guideline summaries are derived from the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC). The National Guidelines Clearinghouse was a federally funded database available to the public. Their mission was to provide practitioners, health care providers, health plans, integrated delivery systems, purchasers and others an accessible mechanism for obtaining detailed information on quality measures, and to further their dissemination, implementation, and use in order to inform health care decisions. As of July 16, 2018, the web sites were shut down because federal funding through AHRQ was no longer available to support. Read more on our blog
We don’t put all of our titles on our site, if you can’t find what you’re looking for just reach out. More often than not we can help you find it. Because of the large number of clinical practice guidelines in publication, we are not able to carry each and every title in quick reference format. If there is a specific title you are interested in, contact us and we will do our best to see that title introduced for sale.
You can either use the categorized navigation provided, or simply type your query into our search located in the upper right corner by clicking the magnifying glass icon. You can refine by content type after performing an initial search.
