I am taking a course on coding and this book is required. Great book. Tons of helpful hints, color coded information, etc. Be sure to get the Expert for Physicians edition. It is well worth it. And if you are taking a course, this is a great book to own, not borrow. You will need it to take the test and get certified, and they recommend you get very familiar with your personal coding book.

I really like the way this book is laid out! Thank you!

I liked it add there were layman's terms in the manual. Small black and white pictures throughout.

The book arrived on time and it was exactly what we needed.

Item is just what I needed and it arrived quickly.

Arrived very quickly and exactly what I needed.

Came as described. Would recommend to others.

Happy with the purchase
