The disk that came with the book is a data disk only, and does not contain the program that created the data. That is why the data disk is not a workable disk, unless you have The Medical Manager installed on your computer! The book is too geared to be used with the Medical Manager Software Program, and is difficult to read it as a stand alone book.

Version 10.0 is in print now and comes with a CD-Rom which is suppose to have the complete software program and data files so it can be used as it should be, and teach medical billing and office proceedures.

I am an instructor for the Medical Manager class and have been for over 5 years. I have used almost every version possible with the Medical Manager. This is a fairly good book for students to learn from. As long as the person reads the instructions and then looks at the exercises, they should have NO problems. However, if the person just looks at the exercise and does not read the material, they may have difficulty. Some of the exercise/pictures are different then the actual reading part but not too many. Overall this book makes it fairly simple to learn this program.

Confusing to follow instructions for data entry.

Difficult when errors are made... the student has to get back into the previous units and figure out the correction.

There is an instructor's disk that can bring the correct data in... the student then can continnue from a specific point.

Errors in the student and instructor's text.
