Synopsis

Combining the fundamental skills of a pegboard system with advances in electronic health records, MEDICAL OFFICE PROCEDURES WITH MEDICAL PEGBOARD, 5E equips readers with a solid understanding of the financial activities and events that occur in the medical office. Expanded and completely up-to-date, it includes the latest advances in key procedures and features a vibrant four-color format. The simulation thoroughly explains manual procedures first--laying a solid foundation for performing the same task on a computer. By first learning to use the pegboard and then practice management software, readers can seamlessly switch between manual and computerized financial procedures--depending on their current office conditions and needs.
