Good packaging. Quick arrival. I hope to learn enough to pass the test. Would recommend that anyone taking the test, to really buckle down. Good luck to everyone taking the test!UPDATE: Passed the CCS test! But not because of this book. Taught myself how to look up codes using the AMA CPT book and used NJHA reference materials a friend gave me.

Good basic learning tool. I'm still using it to supplement info learned in an online course and will be following up with the more advanced book by same publisher.

I used this book for my schooling. I did find it very helpful. It did have a lot of info

Good one to buy.Worth for the price.

thanks
