Review "[What] a great idea, and a good book! As a person who has taught coding and billing for years, it's definitely needed." "The manuscript presents the information in a way that uses the proper terminology without overwhelming the student with medical 'jargon' that can be confusing when learning it at first." "Very thorough; good use of graphs, tables, and illustrations; anatomy and physiology is clear, concise, and easily understood. The most impressive feature is the abundance of high-quality, relevant reinforcing exercises." About the Author Marie A.
