I read Rick Benzel's first edition years ago and found it to be highly informative. His second edition is clearly researched and reflects the changes in the healthcare industry. I would recommend this book as a prerequisite for anyone contemplating self employment in this field. He covers all areas and gives a comprehensive look at the healthcare service business. As a medical billing service owner and consultant for 18 plus years, I feel qualified to give this book two thumbs up!!

I wish I had purchased this book prior to investing in my medical billing software. Rick Benzel highlighted several key factors in deciding which health service entity is right for you, and the proper steps to ensure new success. There was also a CD included, which had demos from a few billing software companies. What an asset!

I found this book to be informative and enjoyable reading. Each section of the book is well organized and details the pros and cons of each business as well as the personal attributes that you may need to possess to enjoy working in the given field. I found the profiles on successful business persons already working in the field and the income estimates to be of particular interest to someone getting into the health services business. The book's largest section is devoted to the medical billing business. I was specifically looking for information regarding Claims Assistance Professionals, and this section, although shorter than the medical billing section, was equally well written and contained some very useful information. I am very happy with the purchase of this book and recommend it to anyone who is considering one of these businesses!

Of all the books i could get my hands on to read about launching a medical billing business, this is it-easy to read, easy to understand and it gets to the point fast. "10"

Vendors mentioned are not in business now. The topics are way to generic. He doesn't even own his own business and I still had so many questions after reading this book. I don't ususally comment on books but felt there were other books out there which provided more insight.

This book has an excellent source of information for anyone who wants to start a medical billing business or other similar profession. I would recommend this book to anyone.

There was not enough information as far as I was concerned. I think there are other books out there that are more specific and contain far more information.

Rick Benzel has written the most complete and most accurate book about the health care industry today. This is a MUST HAVE book.
