Editorial Reviews

I don t know of any other textbook that covers HIM in various health care settings to the extent this one does. It is comprehensive, consistent in organization, and well written. Very thorough discussion of this care setting is given. I appreciate the details given in the section on documentation. The Reimbursement section is very well detailed. I can t say enough good about the level of useful detail given.

It is a concise and focused text with valuable assignments and critical thinking questions.
