5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, concise review, December 22, 2007

This review is from: Law, Liability & Ethics for the Medical Office Professional (Paperback)

This book provides a clear and concise introduction to the legal aspects related to health care delivery. It is geared mostly toward the medical office professional but it has useful information for any health care provider. Two very nice features: 1. legal terms are defined not only in the text but also on the margins (one can quickly review them by just browsing through the book) and 2. issues pertinent to managed care and HIPAA are clearly marked throughout the text.

Received this book about 10 days after ordering. My college library wanted $95 for a used copy of the fifth edition. I found this fourth edition for $0.99 from this seller. Arrived slightly bent and stained, but still does the trick, as there usually isn't much different from edition to edition. Plus I saved an assload of money. I believe next semester all of my books will be purchased in this way.
