Donna Avila-Weil, Independent Medical Coding (Rayve Productions, 1999)
Looking for in rank on being a medical coder? This may possibly be an fascinating 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 top to find more detailed books about the ins and outs of coding.
The rest of the book is devoted to more general discussion on starting your own home-based business, all of which once again is of a general nature and will probably send you searching for more detailed books on the same topic, if you’re looking to start your own business rather than code for a company. So this one is worth your time if you’re brand-new to the search, but be aware you’ll be buying more books after this. ***

As a worker in the health care field, this book will be a wonderful resource for individuals fascinating in pursuing a career in the coding field. The book is full of helpful in rank. There are many “coding” books out, but none that detail how to get into the profession, where to get the education, resources, etc. As in the book the Independent Medical Transcriptionist, Avila-Weil has done a fantastic job at putting very helpful and lots of in rank into this career how-to book and I hope there will be future editions that provide additional/updated resources, as the IMT book, which is now in its 3rd edition. I only wish there was more of this book to read. It is the first of its kind for the coding field, and I reckon that many will find it helpful, as I do.

The word “comprehensive” in the title is the objectionable term here since this book is essentially a run of small, insufficient passages. There is nothing here that couldn’t be found for free on the internet or with a small bit of work reviewing *any* basic “starting your own business books.”
I’ll be returning this book. Ironically, I’m out the return postage cost, but since the book is really only a handbook and uses a huge font, the cost probably won’t be much to ship such a small book back. My advice is to not waste your money unless you need a primer on basic business principles and a reference for where to get the medical coder training.
