Review

I would highly recommend this book to colleagues. It is an excellent study guide that assists the coder in determining their strengths and weaknesses in ICD-9-CM and CPT Coding. Two years ago, I recommended the CCS PRG to a hospital coder, she bought the book and she studied for six months and she passed the CCS for the first time. Deborah L.

I HIGHLY recommend this book. I used this book in the manner recommended and was able to PASS the exam on my first try! The structure of this book was helpful and I like the disk that comes with it because it was good practice for the test. Years ago I used a review guide very very similar to this one to study for my RHIT and I also PASSED that on the first try.
