Editorial Reviews

Review

Text is clear and easy to understand, it is practical on how to complete and submit accurate claim forms for major insurance companies. The case studies are realistic and beneficial in helping students extract information from a patients chart to a claim form. Both paper and electronic claims are emphasized.

I would recommend this text to any instructor or School Administrator looking for new text on Health Insurance and Billing. This text far supercedes the current text I am using. It is in-depth, full of exercises and examples, and really explains the topics at hand. Health Insurance and Billing can sometimes be boring for students but this text really keeps things interesting and would keep the students busy.

This text combines all concepts of Health Insurance into one, user-friendly text. It has excellent pedagogical elements presented to keep the students attention and help make information easily understandable. This text will make the transition from classroom to medical office easy for students. There is an outstanding supplement package available for instructors. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

If you are attempting to process "Professional" Health Insurance claims for a Doctor's Office (Form HCFA-1500) this is a good learning text. Includes a diskette for taking tests on your PC. However, there is no information on processing UB-92 Facility and Institutional claims.

I am taking a CPT coding class and my teacher is Ms.Rowell herself. I am so very pleased with this book, for it gives you step by step instructions in a very detailed manner. The layout is terrific, and the examples given in the book give you a sinerio that helps you put a real life situation into perspective. I have not found a better book that explains health insurance. If you are working in a "billing" environment, you should have this book.

Very misleading April 23, 2003
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book with the accompanying workbook. Although it may contain good information, the answers are not provided to the exercises--in either the book or workbook. Apparently, a separate instructor's manual needs to be purchased. When spending [the money] for both books, I didn't even think that answers would not be provided, much less that I'd have to spend [more money] to get them. I'd recommend the book, workbook, and instructor's manual, unless you're taking a class that allows you to check to make sure you understand the concepts.

I'm not sure why I don't have voting buttons--I read every review here before I submitted mine.
