Summary: An interesting concept, but question usefulness.
Comment: A primer on reading and interpreting coding on medical bills, insurance company lingo, reimbursement issues, and a general how-to guide for the patient dealing with obtaining optimal payment from insurance companies for medical procedures. This book could be a valuable tool for the individual with limited coverage. However, the coding system is so overwhelming, with widely differing prices for what appears to be the same procedure. For example, I counted 15 different laparoscopic pelvic procedures for endometriosis. Determining what an actual fee should be based on this book is difficult. And it is doubtful you would find a doctor's office staff willing to explain why a certain service was billed under a certain code. A good idea in theory, but probably difficult to obtain.
