I'm taking a Diagnosis Coding class and this coding book by Ingenix was required. I appreciate the layout of the book and the color coded sections, tips, definitions, red code also remarks, illustrations, etc. I have no problem with the content of the book.

Anyone who codes knows that a coding book gets lots of use, with constant 'flipping through' the pages. I have been very careful to use the book gently, since it will have to last me through four classes and the CCS exam. Shortly after beginning the first class, the book started to split at the spine in one place and some pages started falling out. I'm halfway through the second class now and the entire middle section of the book has come loose from the binding and I have to worry about this and losing more pages every time I look up a code. Some of the other students in the class are having the same problem with this edition. One book I saw the cover was split on the spine and broken in half, with many pages coming out.

I'm looking for a different coding book. I know this one will not last. It's a shame. I paid around $90 for this one and can't afford another one.

Since this was my the 1st time that I had purchased a used item, I was a bit concerned. However, I was very surprised how quickly I got the package.

I came on time especially since my class was to begin in just a few days. The book is in perfect condition as if it were never used.

I am very happy with purchase.

I WAS VERY HAPPY LEARNING ABOUT ICD-0 AND I ENJOYED THE CLASS AND MADE AN (A) ON MY FINAL EXAM THIS SPRING,THANKS!!!!!

I had the same experience with my book. I was extremely disappointed because of the price. I did take the book to one of the office stores. I was able to get it repaired with a spiral binding. Or one may purchase the ICD-9-CM Expert edition thatis published with a spiral binding. By the way the content is excellent.
