I honestly don't think the basics book would be that helpful for your situation. It is a 'basic overview' of medical billing in the sense of explaining primary insurance, secondary insurance, importance of getting information from patient, authorizations, referrals, deductibles, copays, coinsurance, workers comp, no-fault, HIPAA, and much more, but it doesn't specifically cover how to bill claims to Medicare/Medicaid. If you know nothing about medical billing then basics would give you a great overview. The 'How to complete a CMS form completely & correctly' might be a good help though. Do you have a practice management system you will be using to submit claims?
