Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) includes a comprehensive list of prescription drugs and is commonly used by coders for reference. It can also provide alternate names or generic equivalents for a specific drug or herbal remedy. The Merck Manual and medical dictionary can also be useful references for coders, but they may not have as extensive information on specific drugs. Coding Clinic is a publication that provides official coding guidance and would not typically include information on drug names.
