Between work, going back to school, and helping raise three kids time is the most precious resource that I have. This book seeks to waste as much of it as possible. For a textbook that is used in college level courses I find it to be poorly organized and at times unprofessional. Granted there is turmoil in the coding field caused by the delay of the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS. However, how the author covers this discussion between ICD-9 and ICD-10 it is unclear at times which classification is being discussed. Additionally, the answers to various quiz questions are not in the back of the book, like most of the other texts. They are only given in the instructorâs manual. In todayâs 24/7 environment how is this functional? I am taking this course online, and given my work/life schedule I am not very keen about wasting time and emailing my instructor to see if I am answering the questions correctly. Finally, the authorâs disdain for ICD-9 and the failure of ICD-10 from being implemented is readily apparent and eventually wears thin. It is time to move on.
This, this is a poorly written and amazingly badly edited book. I don't really understand how a book like this, filled with typos and examples that don't jibe with the suggested answer, can claim to teach coding. In coding we are taught to be as exact as possible, and to never assume, and this book fails on both of these accounts. Stay away. It has some good illustrations, though some of them are gratuitous.
This is a must have book for anyone in the field of medical coding I love this book and I truly needed this book its the best!!!
