5.0 out of 5 stars The best introductory text to Medical Billing, December 27, 2007

By	Dr. Yuval Lirov "Medical Billing Networks and... (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rimmer's text stands out among other medical billing introductory texts because of its emphasis on helping the student to understand and remember the material and because of its extra effort to help the student hit the ground running upon being hired. Each chapter, in addition to crystal clear material presentation, has key terms, objectives, terminology side-bar, summary, and review questions. The book also offers real life examples, a rich list of forms, case studies, glossary, index, and an Ingenix Encoder Pro CD for CPT, ICD-9, and HCPCS code lookup and reference software.

A great classroom text and an introductory book for anyone interested in the field of medical billing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Medical Billing 101, May 21, 2009

By	Serious Reader (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

The book is very basic; it's really for someone who just want to know what medical billing is. If you are serious in going into billing career, you probably will need something more detail. I wish there are examples in the book.
