1.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading - and other reviews are woefully bad, July 16 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Independent Medical Coding (Paperback)
The word "comprehensive" in the title is the objectionable term here since this book is essentially a series of short, insufficient passages. There is nothing here that couldn't be found for free on the internet or with a little bit of work reviewing *any* basic "starting your own business books."

I'll be returning this book. Ironically, I'm out the return postage cost, but since the book is really only a handbook and uses a big font, the cost probably won't be much to ship such a small book back. My advice is to not waste your money unless you need a primer on basic business principles and a reference for where to get the medical coder training.

5.0 out of 5 stars For any Coder thinking of pursuing an independent career., Aug 1 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Independent Medical Coding (Paperback)
This is a fantastic reference for anyone who is pursuing a career as an independent coder. In this age of "compliance" conscious organizations, anyone working independently needs to now how to organize business practices. This is not a "how to code" book. There are numerous very good coding references. This book addresses coding as a business. Working independently as a consultant, coding education resources and certification. It is an excellent resource and highly recommended to all who are considering pursuing an independent coding practice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be cautious of the title. Not what I needed or wanted., July 11 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Independent Medical Coding (Paperback)
Book may be helpful for someone already adept at medical coding, though I thought it still lacking in substance and vague non-responsive answers to very important subjects if really going to help someone changing careers. Title suggested help in coding which I needed and I wasted $35.
