3.0 out of 5 stars average, it is sometimes very hard to understand a very simple concept, November 16, 2008

By	vicki (florida) - See all my reviews

Im going to night school to learn how to do the insurance coding and this book is many times confusing. It jumps around sometimes and also asks questions regarding something I didnt read. Also Im only on chapter 3 and Im not sure if I will be able to pass the test for the class. Maybe they could have made it more simpler? More elementary as It seems like you have to already have had a job in the Medical Field to do this. However I kinda feel that the job is going to be more on the job training and the more you do it the easier it will become.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but doesn't include all the answers., February 2, 2009

By	Coco "Shops-A-Lot" (Montana) - See all my reviews

This is a good practice book but it only includes answers for odd numbered questions. This book is not a required text for my class so I'll never have all of the answers.
