This text was just right for the course, and being able to rent it was a bargain - They even sent me a notice when it was coming due with a return label to ship it. I recommend this for anyone going back to school to help with their careers.
I originally got this textbook for a coding and billing course that I took several years ago. The basic information about how to run a medical outpatient office, and the details of federal guidelines about privacy, etc. was very good. Unfortunately, the information was way out of date, even though the date of the textbook was current at the time, and didn't even mention the upcoming electronic health records requirement scheduled for 2013. This is critical information and was known at the time of the book. It did give good links that, with effort, one could find that information.
If you're fairly new to the medical billing industry this is a good book. It explains the basics of billing claims and gives you a good understanding of how the industry works.
it is a good help and the book was just how described. it met the requirements that i needed for mmy class
I am just a beginner in the medical billing and coding world, reading this book makes me feels comfortable. I feel like the author is in front of me discussing each chapter. I even bought her medical insurance dictionary, Insurance Handbook, and Virtual Medical Office. The contents of the book is easy to understand, it basically helps you to absorb the real world of health insurance industry.Worth to keep in my little library at home and a very good reference all the time... :-)
To encourage the seller doing better in the future.Would like to express my great impressive of this product.And I would highly recommend this product to who needs it.
This book was very helpful in a course I am taking. The copy I received contained highlighted passages by the the previous owner. They were helpful, the book was in excellent shape and was just what I needed for this course.
I chose this rating because the edition sent to me was not the one i wanted and there was a note in this book sent to me saying that the used book got sent to some one else and I could get the free service of $20.00. But by then it was too late to get in to all that.... Thanks anyway!
