Provides essential legal and ethical principle for anyone pursuing a healthcare career. It provides a foundation of all the essentials including the legal system, the patient/physician relationship, professional liability and medical malpractice prevention, public duties of the physician, the medical record, confidentialiy, bioethical issues and HIPAA. Great resource for those seeking a career in HIT/HIM.

I was impressed on how thin this book was, because the subject is so in-depth. It is an easy read for the most part, but sometimes it was boring to read. I really liked how the book used legal cases as examples throughout the textbook. After reading this book I have become a lot more aware of my surroundings in the medical field and I know there are serious consequences for breaching patient confidentiality. The review sections after each chapter are extremely helpful in reinforcing information learned in each chapter. I really liked how you were able to learn a lot from only reading a little!

The confusion over regulations following the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has been met with few resources providing the basic overview required to determine office policy and practice. Fremgen's second edition accomplishes this, turning government jargon into a concise outline.

I received this book, and the upper corner on the binding edge had been chewed up. Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't affect the binding so now the pages are just barely hanging on.

We didn't use the book for the entire class but what we used was good, interesting, not to long-winded and had interested examples.

This book was very helpful for my class for school. Also, I found the book to be helpful in my other classes. The book describe the laws with health care and the ethics. i found the book very informative and still use it now.

I received this book very well packaged and nice & clean no markings or folds on the pages..Excellent!
would definitely reorder..

book was in great condition, only complaint was that it took the max time to ship to me

This book was ordered for a college class. I paid extra for the shipping in which 3 other books were ordered from other people. This book was the first of 4 to arrive. I was impressed with the condition of the book and the speedy shipping of it. I had it by Tuesday in my mailbox and I ordered it on a Saturday.
Thank you so much.

Review of this item is limited to the condition of the book and length of shipping time. The book was received in perfect condition and in a timely manner. Good job Amazon!

I have been using Amazon for textbook orders for two years now and only once received the wrong book, and that was from an outside vendor. However, this problem was quickly corrected by Amazon. I received the correct book in just under one week.
