Essential Information

This book does not skip over the basics, making it a great reference tool for all NPs despite their practice background. And I'm good NP form, a call for advocacy of the profession is included. I hope this book inspires the creation of many solo practices of NOw practicing to the full scope of their licensure.

Overall general information

I recommend this book for new practitioners. The billing and coding chapter is very good and cleared up a lot of questions I had regarding coding.
