I absolutely love this book. I'm teaching myself the Medisoft software. Cause I took a adult coarse in this field and we didn't get a chance to do medical billing with Medisoft. And too the school had computers that wasn't working or worse stolen from the school. So my instructor told me they have demo CD of Medisoft where you can teach yourself and I got one from Amazon (Medisoft Version 16) along with this book and it so easily broke down that if you don't know it at all you will know it now. It has assignments and step by step instructions through out the book to let you know how to funtion Medisoft properly and efficiently. I have told my friends who also are taking the same interest in this field to get this book. And they love it.
