Transcription Book Review

The book I received was in very good condition. Pretty much brand new. It was also the cheapest one I found. It was delivered to me in a reasonable time limit as well. I would buy from this seller again.

5th Edition is GREAT

I've been an MT for years, and even worked as an IC for many of those years, but needed new information on contracts, liability insurance, and HIPPA compliance. Found it all in this book....and more. I think it's a great reference!

I loved this book, it was exactly what I was looking for!

This is the best career resource I have ever read. It was packed with detailed information and resources about medical transcription, setting up a business, taxes, education - you name it. I found it all in this book. The authors tell it like it is and are clearly are keeping abreast of the industry trends and they live and breathe their topic. I highly recommend this book to potential MTs, MT students, and seasoned MTs. There is something to learn for everyone here! Thank you for this outstanding resource! KM, South Lake Tahoe.

Dynamic reference packed full of a wealth of information.

This has to be the most comprehensive resource written about a career field in which very little information was available. These authors just get better and better, and this, the third edition has to be the best yet. They know their topic inside out and provide up-to-date resources about the medical transcription field. I can't think of anything they have left out! I refer this reference to everyone I talk to about Medical Transcription...there is no other resource that compares to this one. Thank you authors for this outstanding career guide that has helped so many people launch their careers in medical transcription.
