Great Foundational Knowledge for a Newbie
This is a great book for someone who is unfamiliar with working in a medical office, medical insurance, or medical coding, but wants to familiarize themselves before getting their coding certification. (This described me.) This book really clarified many things for me as I just began studying coding a week ago with no prior knowledge. Great book.

This book was okay, but some of the information was repetitive. I kept being directed to certain chapters on the same information. It could have been organized a little better. It does has some useful information for starting a career in medical billing and coding.
