This is a great book for learning the ins and outs of the insurance companies. It also goes over coding and billing. We are using this book now in our Medical Assisting class and this book makes it easier to learn.

I am in school for billing and coding and wanted to have my own books,so I could study and review on my own time. Ordering used books, I didn't expect much. I read the reviews, and decided the price was great. Well to my surprise, when I received my book, it was just as good as the new book I was issued in school. I am very pleased with what I received
