A companion CD-ROM and website offer additional practice and interactive learning opportunities!

- An appendix of block-by-block coverage, with full-color examples of the HCFA-1500 insurance claim form, facilitates understanding and effective learning.
- Photographs, quotes, and short biographies of real insurance billing specialists appear in each chapter, offering real-world perspectives on insurance billing.
- A separate chapter on documentation in the medical office is devoted to this critical topic.
