Rating:  - Not a bad starting point, but not an all-purpose go-to resource.
Donna Avila-Weil, Independent Medical Coding (Rayve Productions, 1999)
Looking for information on being a medical coder? This could be an interesting start, but it likely won't complete your education.
Independent Medical Coding spends its first third or so going over some general concepts you'll need to know in coding, though the key word here is "general"; you'll end up using this as a jumping-off point to find more detailed books about the ins and outs of coding.

Rating:  - Title is misleading - and other reviews are woefully bad
The word "comprehensive" in the title is the objectionable term here since this book is essentially a series of short, insufficient passages. There is nothing here that couldn't be found for free on the internet or with a little bit of work reviewing *any* basic "starting your own business books."

Rating: - Independent Medical Coding
This book is really a great resource. I have devoured it. There is so much useful information in it and it is the first book I have found on this subject that goes into all it would take to make this a great career move. I was looking for a great home business and I think this book will be a great help. I wish I had found it sooner. Good job for the authors.

It gives the experienced coder an alternative career path into entrepeneurship without doing "billing". This book provided me the first stepping stone in what is soon to be my new career. I would like to see the authors do an even more in-depth book, providing even more information about this field. Because ... Read More
