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."
