I passed!.......2007-09-12
In a few weeks I am going for the third time to take my certification exam for CCA. I missed passing it twice due to the fact that Hurricane Katrina hit just a month after finishing the entire AHIMA CCA courses. Being away from the material for over 2 years and not being able to find a job because so many were lost in Biloxi and never recovered, I have no practical experience. I had no idea where to even begin to study using all of my books. Thanks to the excellent writing of this book, I have hope that this time I can pass as the book helps you to relearn.
I took my test for the third time and passed!! I truly believe that it is due to this book. The book helped me to relearn what I had forgotten and did it in such a helpful and thoughtful manner. It helped me to finally focus on what I needed to study and I am so grateful to the author for putting in the "I think I can" attitude. I did pass by doing it one question at a time.

Comprehensive Instruction Material for Beginner Coders and Billers.......2007-04-10
Medical coding and billing continuously evolve in large part because insurance companies and providers have conflicting business goals. An effective biller must go beyond simple claim submission and discover the reasons for underpayments and denials, to solicit missing information from both providers and payers, and follow up on every claim until its full payment. Rowell's and Green's Guide provides an ideal introductory didactic set of materials covering everything from history of health care reimbursement, major insurance companies, and federal health care legislation, to basic knowledge of national diagnosis and procedure coding rules, to complex topics, such as V-codes, and diagnosis code linking. The text is replete with examples and exercises, helping students understand and remember the needed materials.
Learning Tool.......2007-03-11
This book is fanastic and provides up-to-date information on the health insurance industry. Its great for learners and old timers too. Gives a very broad spectrum of the health industry and easy to comprehend. I recommend this book to anyone as a teaching/learning tool.

Professional Review Guide for the CCS-P Examination.......2007-07-13
I loved the fact that the quizzes and test were on the CD disk. You have the option when you are taking the test for it to show you the answers. It explained why you would arrive at those answers. The disk is very helpful for those people that do not like to read a lot of study material when you can actually learn it as you proceed on the disk. All of the material in the book was very informative but I especially liked the Reimbursement section as it shows you how to calculate medicare patients payments and par physicians and non par physicians payments.
Sincerely-Julie
Just passed my CCS-P 2 days ago using the 2006 version.......2007-02-19
I want to be clear that I haven't seen the 2007 Edition yet - however think it's worth posting my review of the 2006 one here - as this is where people will be looking past May.
I spent a few weeks preparing for my CCS-P, using mainly this book's 2006 edition.
It walked me through reviewing coding areas that I needed refreshing on, pointing out to me that, for example, I wasn't as clear as I should be on how to code certain cardiac procedures and needed to spend some time on OB coding.
It gave me all I needed - the sample test questions and cases were right on for the exam. The CD was a bonus - simple interface that walks you through multiple questions. Nice.
So, I passed. Very nicely. In fact, you could say I met and exceeded all the key components for passing (a little bit of coder humor there!).
Thanks, Patricia et al. This really helped me prepare effectively with limited study time. It looks like a huge bit of work to put together - well done.

Easy to Understand.......2005-10-09
I knew nothing about health insurance. This book is definitely worth the money. What makes it stand out is there are examples they give to make it more clear, as well as a CD and test questions.

excellent for the beginning coder.......2007-01-09
This book is very helpful for the person entering the medical coding profession, and it would be a good review for the professional.
CORRECT contact for the Answer Key.......2003-01-16
A student's call brought the review post by Lynette Arnett, Mar 2000 to my attention. The tel # in the posting contains the # for an insurance company and although I share the name of Jenny, the phone # posted is not mine nor does it belong to anyone else here at McGraw-Hill.
I work in the New Media dept (not customer service) of MH and my manager and I thought best to post the 'correct' phone numbers so if someone does need to request an answer key for this text or any other, they might best be served. The correct number for customer service at McGraw-Hill for Students is 1-800-262-4729 and 1-800-338-3987 for instructors. Thank you!
Sight Unseen.......2000-04-20
Glad I read the reviews and learned that an answer key could berequested from the publisher. Considering the [cost of the book]...this should be included! I agree with others..what good areexercises if you've no way to check how right/wrong one's answers are?
I found the answer for the answer key.......2000-03-07
This is an excellent book, with much information. Alas, for such an in-depth workbook, it was totally aggravating not to have the answer key. Okay, all you out there, I called McGraw-Hill at 1-800-252-4729 and was then told to call a Jenny at 1-630-789-5305 (she works at McGraw-Hill) and request an answer key. She will send you one for free. Then make it known to Jenny, tactfully of course, how the answer key should have been included in order of the workbook.
