Practice Management Books

I had decided to start a Medical Billing Center and purchased all the software, etc. All I needed was examples to try to see if I could really do medical billing. With Dr. Doe, I was able to practice and get a full overlook of the office. This book gave me a complete one weeks work of doctor billing. This book does not leave out any details!! It is complete in the world of billing. It includes real diagnosis, superbills, explanation of benefits, to copies of insurance cards. Now that I have signed a real doctor, I think this book gave me the incouragment and experience that I was looking for, and let me know that I could do this. This is truly a MUST HAVE!!!

this book was brought to my attention by a colleague who owns a surgical center. since purchasing it i have elevated my fee schedule from near medicare rates to realistic figures and have been getting paid more by out of network insurnace plans. a must have source for all medical practices

Complete, concise information on medical insurace plans, billing, coding, and reimbursement in an easy to read format. The numerous example forms and billing tips are excellent. The coding, claim form, and reimbursement chapters give more complete information than any other books I've reviewed.

This book strongly emphasizes the importance of teamwork in the medical office, and it covers current health care laws in easy to understand terms.

The new 2002 edition of this book has all forms on CD-ROM for use with Windows or Mac, in addition to tear-out forms for photocopying. You can change any form to suit your needs with Microsoft Word.

I found the book very well laid out and clearly written. It is very practical for both the new and established medical practice. The tips are very useful.

This "handbook" is actually quite large and comprehensive. It covers areas relating to starting a practice (this section is especially helpful and includes a very realistic timetable from conception of a practice to seeing patients), enrolling with health insurance carriers both private and public, buy/sell agreements, employment, and retirement plans as well as many other things. With this book a physician has the resources available to start up a practice without incurring huge costs from a consultant. In addition to the text portion of the book, a CD-ROM is included with form letters and schedules to use as needed. I highly recommend this book for those individuals new and even not-so-new to solo/private medical practice.

I've only skimmed the book for content, not read it yet. I was seeking a book to help with internal controls for my husbands medical practice. I am a CPA. This book may be slightly light on that topic, but it was very comprehensive as to running a practice, not just the accounting side of it. After I read through this book I will probably be ready to run the office myself - doing everything but the operations! It was costly so I was apprehensive to buy it, but I think it'll be worth the cost.

Primarily useful for anyone who needs to estimate life expectancy reductions due to various diseases or chronic health impairments - insurance underwriters, actuaries, epidemiologists, or medical researchers will find this invaluable. There are excellent introductory notes on the methods and arithmetic of population tables and life expectancy calculations. In two volumes, this provides consistent tables and extracts from hundreds of medical studies - ranging from general studies of obesity and the effects of smoking, down to specific studies of various heart valve replacements. I only wish this were still in print.

wonderful explaination of a physician's alternatives in the increasing problem of bad faith peer review and the problem of the Health Care Quality "Improvement" Act. Thanks Mr. Levin

This is a superior terminology textbook. It includes flash cards, crossword puzzles, and quick quizes to help you retain what you've learned.

Furthermore, it builds language skills in a logical manner, so what you learned yesterday will form the basis for remembering today's lesson.

It's good - really good.
