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

By	Zippy (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

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.
