Synopsis

For total preparation, use the text and Student Workbook for Health Insurance Today: A Practical Approach together! This workbook with bound-in CD contains a variety of exercises that test student understanding through simple chapter assessments and offer practice on a variety of actual health insurance billing/coding job functions.

• Students can test their understanding of material in the text with Defining Chapter Terms exercises and multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and fill-in-the-blank Chapter Assessments.
• 59 competency-based Performance Objectives activities test students on concepts in a timed, competency-based environment (including a point system and grading sheet for instructor evaluation purposes).
• 54 case studies, 68 critical thinking exercises, and 44 collaborative learning activities provide ample opportunities for practice, self-assessment and confidence building.
• 63 Projects/Discussion Topics allow instructors to assign extra projects or hold class discussions that reinforce key points.
• Internet Exploration assignments ask students to do further research on text content on related websites.
• At the end of each chapter, students can complete a Self-Evaluation to help them judge their performance.
• Three different options provide claims form completion practice on the CD-ROM - all tied to exercises in the workbook:
  • Electronic Forms - Common health insurance forms in Word format provide an easy way for students to complete related workbook exercises. Students can save their work at any point -- for completion at a later date or for evaluation by their instructor.
  • Guided Completion - For introductory purposes, select exercises in the workbook direct students to the Guided Completion option where software takes them through each block of the CMS-1500 (08-05) version, offering correction and advice at each stage.
  • Practice Management - Certain exercises within the workbook require students to use a working demo of Altapoint practice management software, giving students valuable practice management experience.
