Editorial Reviews

Review

I personally like the questions arranged by specific topic and then the Mock exam random questions. This gives the students the ability to discover their weaknesses and their strengths by domain. They can then concentrate on that area. I feel that the questions overall have enough variety without overwhelming the student. The questions that have explanations for the correct answer is great help to the student.Della Moon, RHIT, CCS, CTR Instructor, Health Information Management, San Jacinto College, Houston, Texas

I purchased this Professional Review Guide for the CCA,2010 with the hopes that it would aid me in passing the exam.

It did. I loved using the CD that came with the guide. It was very helpful in preparing for the test in areas not totally covered in my classes.

Overall, this is an excellent product - I thought I was studying the right areas, but this book quickly refocused where I really should be studying.

Two significant problems:

1. When using the CD, my computer recognizes the program as a "TROJAN" and I have to disable my antivirus program.

2. The book and CD are chockfull of typo's and incorrectly typed information. A few of the answers don't seem correct based on ICD-9-CM and CPT book descriptions.

Unfortunately, I cannot locate anywhere on the internet where there is a addendum of corrections to the book.

All in all, it's worth the money, but the publisher needs to proofread before publishing.

Good review with exam review questions for all categories tested. Comes with CD which is good practice for actual exam. Better to get this when you start your coding class as it also gives ideas of books to read for the exam if you are not already using them in your class.
