This review is from: Understanding Procedural Coding: A Worktext (Plastic Comb)

The book came quickly, and was required for school. A newer edition will be avaliable in March. Some information was a little off because it was published in 2008. It doesn't come with the answers, the teachers have the answers. It came with a trial version of Encoder Pro which is very helpful, and can be reinstalled, but you need to be able to look things up quickly from the CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM books for certification.
