Reviews

I never new there were so much procedures and steps in the healthcare industry. This course has truly gave me a better understanding of what's going on around.

Excellent teacher.

Study Material/graphs need a 2020 refresh.

First submission has mostly insurance centered rubric which is not evident in the question.

Great! Instructor Parente gives big overviews but dives into the nitty gritty and gives effective examples to illustrate concepts!

It's a dynamic industry so perhaps provide links where new research and statistics can be found. Great course for those new to the industry.
