5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and to the point, March 25, 2000

By	Christine Tournas (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews

I read both of the books she wrote and found them to be very helpful however the revised book has a lot more information. I have read the revised book 3 times already and each time I pick up more and more. I think it is a honest account of starting out the business and what to expect. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of starting their own medical billing business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overview of the business is the best I've read so far., October 5, 1999

By A Customer

Medical Billing Revised Edition is the best book I have read so far concerning medical billing for the home based entrepreneur. Not only does it outline how to set up an office and what to expect during presentations and contact with a prospective cleint, it goes into the basics of medical billing and what different things mean. I think the author did an outstanding job and I did not see the errors the other reader found. I think it is a great book and I highly recommend it.
