This book and the accompanying workbook were the textbooks for a medical billing and insurance class. As a student with little prior exposure, I found them to be badly organized and badly written. The author jumps between topics, assumes inconsistent knowledge (sometimes leaving things unexplained and other times almost insulting the reader’s intelligence), and confuses things with extraneous information. Information that would be better presented in an appendix often clutters the text, as if the author couldn’t separate the necessary basics from the exceptions. Figures and charts are separated from the text that accompanies them, requiring much flipping of pages. Many of the workbook questions are ambiguous, lacking sufficient information to derive an answer. The prose is convoluted and reads more like a stream of consciousness than a concise teaching instrument. You will also need access to the relevant coding books, as there are few pages from which to practice abstracting and finding correct codes. This is actually understandable, since there are so many coding books and they contain so much information; however, the author could have chosen a specific group of related conditions and their range of treatments, and printed the relevant sections in an appendix for practice. Until issues like these are fixed, I recommend finding a different text.
