I read both of the books she wrote and found them to be very helpful however the revised book has a lot more information. I have read the revised book 3 times already and each time I pick up more and more. I think it is a honest account of starting out the business and what to expect. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of starting their own medical billing business.

At Home Professions recommended this book and I must tell you my questions were answered. The information was great and it put the medical billing business more in prespective for me. I would highly recommend this book.

Medical Billing Revised Edition is the best book I have read so far concerning medical billing for the home based entrepreneur. Not only does it outline how to set up an office and what to expect during presentations and contact with a prospective cleint, it goes into the basics of medical billing and what different things mean. I think the author did an outstanding job and I did not see the errors the other reader found. I think it is a great book and I highly recommend it.

I am a Registered Health Information Administrator with 7 years experience in health care. I found Medical Billing: The Bottom Line to be poorly presented. There are many grammatical and arithmetic errors. The coding explanations are difficult to follow and many other explanations are poorly sequenced. I do not recommend this book.

I am in the medical billing field and have been for many years. I found this book fragmented. Not a good resource at all. I recommend the books from Fordney or Rowell.

Have been researching the business for a long time and I have found this book to be the most explicit in getting started. Highly recommend this if you are thinking of this business.

At Home Professions recommend reading this book. I had many unanswered questions that were answered when I finished Medical Billing Revised Edition. I find it to be a great source of information and keep it as a ready reference.

I have been an RN for over 15 years and an English major. I have read the book. I not only found the book a must for everyone thinking of getting into this business I found it a necessity. I did not find grammar errors (which other reviews stated). I think when people nit pick a book they have nothing better to do with their time. I think the CPT and ICD sections were nicely put in perspective which is what the author tried to do. Anyone that can be critical of this book needs their head examined as I have read it three times and went through the training that they offer which was incredible.

I made the sad mistake of buying this book. Most of chapters in the book describe principles that would apply to ANY business (and do a poor job at that). For example, Chapter 2 - obtaining financial help, Chapter 3 - The Business Plan, Chapter 5 - writin a business plan, Chapter 6 - Getting started and networking, on and on. These chapters have no information (or very very little) relating to the medical field. In chapter 21, she finally says "Let's Get Technical". But she is still very shallow on medical billing details. Unless you know nothing about the medical field, this book will be little, if any, value to you.

Great source for information. Was very impressed. A great overall of the medical billing business.
