It's ok but there is better
| Customer Rating:  | | I recently purchase this book with only 28,000 abbreviations,and I say only because they are many more out there. This book could have been more reasonably priced when you think of the contents. I know that there is a code that comes with the book for a companion Web site, but as a Medical Coder I do not have the time for that when I am at work and needs the meaning of an abbreviation ASAP. This may be useful for a student because it also has the list of DO NO USE dangerous abbreviations and normal adult lab values at the back of the book. I guess the fact that I also own the Jablonski I realize that this book is easier to read because it has each abbreviation meanings listed on a separate line. Very thoughtful presentation. If it only had as many abbreviations as Jablonoski I would have easily given this book a 5. I gave it 3 for lacking of abbreviations. A better one with a similar format (abbreviations on separate lines) would be Steadman's ISBN 9780781744034 which has according to what the book states over 75,000 abbreviations, acronyms and symbols. I just purchased that one today. I needed 2, one for work and one for home as I occasionally work from home. This is the 3rd edition of Steadman's they now have the 4th out so you may want to purchase the more updated one. |

"Medical Billers"
| Customer Rating: | | As a medical biller, it has made my job a lot easier, I have the same book but is about 11 yrs old so I really needed an updated version, its great, and to be honest at first I though I wouldn't use it as much as I do, but it has so much information, its on my desk all the time and I love it. |
Very helpful
