Workbook to Accompany Medical Insurance: An Integrated Claims Process Approach, third edition (0-07-340210-9)
The Workbook to Accompany Medical Insurance has excellent material for (1) reinforcing the text content, (2) applying concepts, and (3) extending understanding. It combines the best features of a workbook and a study guide. Each workbook chapter enhances the text’s strong pedagogy through:

  • Assisted Outlining -- reinforce the chapter’s key points
  • Key Terms -- objective questions and crossword puzzles/word finds
  • Critical Thinking – questions that stimulate process understanding
  • Guided Web Activities – build skill in locating and then evaluating information on the Internet
  • Applying Concepts – reinforce and extend abstracting insurance information, calculating insurance math, and using insurance terms

Matching the text chapter-by-chapter, the workbook reinforces, applies, and extends the text to enhance the learning process.

Medical Insurance Coding Workbook for Physician Practices, 2007-2008 edition (0-07-352205-8)
The Medical Insurance Coding Workbook provides practice and instruction in coding and compliance skills. Since medical insurance specialists verify diagnosis and procedure codes and use them to report physicians’ services, a fundamental understanding of  coding principles and guidelines is the baseline for correct claims. The coding workbook reinforces and enhances skill development by applying the coding principles introduced in Medical Insurance 3e and extending knowledge through additional coding guidelines, examples, and compliance tips.  75 NEW case studies have been added to simulate more real-world application.
