This is a great book for those who may need help with documentation. This book gives you the terminology that insurance companies need to see in your documentation. It has a lot of practice spaces with the answers in the back of the book. This is a must get book for students!

Going to buy another since we had to tear out pages to turn in assignments! Wish I had known I could print them off on line with the code!
