Seattle, WA - February 19, 2002 - Palmtop Publishing, the leading business provider of engaging, Palm OS® professional references and event guides, today introduced the Pocket CPT 2002 Coding Guide and Reference with the Custom Medical Coding Reference feature - medical coding tools for smooth and accurate billing for Palm OS handheld computers.

The new Pocket CPT 2002 Coding Guide and Reference and the Custom Medical Coding Reference feature arm medical and billing professionals with instant, always in hand access to critical AMA CPT procedure codes and modifiers along with full descriptions, coding guidelines by discipline, and E&M guidelines, and the new Emerging Technology Category III codes and guidelines for fast, accurate and easy coding. Pocket CPT Coding Guide and Reference 2002 updates are only $69 for exisiting Pocket CPT 2001 clients until March 15, 2002.

The Pocket CPT 2002 Coding Guide and Reference allow medical professionals to view critical CPT coding information for over 7,500 CPT codes on any Palm OS device including Handspring devices (Nasdaq: HAND), Sony devices (Nasdaq: SONY), and the traditional Palm Computing (Nasdaq: PALM) family of handheld computers. For convenient access to a specialized, more focused set of practice-specific codes, the innovative Custom Medical Coding Reference capability lets medical professionals create one or more customized sets of practice-specific codes to use as "HotLists", addressing the specific needs of specialized practices, clients, procedures, and clinics. Pocket CPT and the Custom Medical Coding Reference are highly organized and completely searchable, enabling auditors and billing professionals to quickly find a CPT code or it's detailed description by discipline, word or phrase search, or CPT code number.

"This combination of complete, easy to install Palm software, coupled with the powerful customization capabilities of the Custom Medical Coding Reference, is intuitive, easy to use and highly useful because it provides instant access to a complete set of CPT 2002 data, and, at the same time, offers quick access to more focused and customized sets of specific codes for the unique needs of specialty practices and consultants," said Trina Clickner, founder of Palmtop Publishing. "This literally lets medical professionals segment and carry just the data they need and also puts any piece of CPT coding and procedure data, including guidelines and Level I and II code modifiers and descriptions, just a tap or two away."

This complete, turnkey, Pocket CPT Coding Guide and Reference with customization capabilities is easy to use, professionally published, completely searchable, and lightening-fast. Installation is easy from any Windows® PC, Apple® Macintosh® (Nasdaq: APPL), minicomputer or mainframe.
