Review

This supplemental text is concise and focused on practice. Exactly what students need to learn to code. They are presented logically, which flows with both the CPT and ICD-9 books. The comparisons between ICD-9 and ICD-10 will satisfy the preparation needed to prepare students and current medical billers for the conversion. The content is complete and will greatly encourage success on the CPC.”

“Excellent as a supplemental text to give students a chance to practice coding skills and can be used to complete the required CAAHEP competencies.”

I think there would be a better way to teach you how to utilize this book by going one part a time. For example, if you have a tonsillectomy do 3 codes in a row to educate you how to code the tonsils so you get better familiar with the outline of how the CPT 2014 book works, especially when there is a need for a modifier. Also, there are answers in the back, of course I did not realize until half way through my college course. It is a great reference when you get stuck.

This workbook made coding tedious. Also it does not help that the workbook came out before we had it in class. So of course codes from 2013 would not match 2014. But even then, the new versions of codes are more tedious to find then before.

I was expecting a little bite More out of this book. If your looking for some addl coding practice this is not the book. This book is for beginners.
