 Agree with "Not That Useful.", 2008-10-11
The book was a quick and easy read. I am a physical therapist operating 5 privately owned clinics. I was hoping to find a resource to improve the efficiency of our billing and collections processes, but this was not it. This book provides a basic description of what technology can and should do to assist a practice operate more effectively, but there are no real world answers. I read it, but then was happy to resell it. Not a resource worth keeping.

 Recommended reading, 2008-09-06
Providers face complex billing problems in the stacked marketplace
that payers have created with their leading edge into large-scale
systems. In this cogent work, the author has integrated many
distributed systems concepts (e.g., Straight Through Processing,
Business Process Interoperability, Software as a Service, Network
effects, etc.) in ways that offer a practical process innovation to
address the cumbersome and risk-prone billing processes inherent in
the field of medical practice management. This book not only describes
an elegant software solution - the author also brings to life the
nature of these underlying problems from the multiple perspectives
that help readers to understand as if they were given a tour through
the system by a resident expert.

Entrepreneurial perspective of the medical billing process, 2008-05-30
Most billing services stall because the founders start a business without the necessary skills, methodology, or technology to run a scalable business. They quickly discover that managing a growing business requires different skills than familiarity of billing or great fun at coding. Medical billing business is especially difficult because it must succeed in an adversarial business environment, where providers may overcharge the payers and payers may underpay the providers.
Practicing Profitability is a pragmatic look at the complex medical billing process from entrepreneurial perspective. It is also a first-hand personal account of a pioneering development of a powerful system to run a solid and scalable medical billing business, including professionally managed processes, leading-edge technology, and outsourced and off-shored personnel. If you plan to build a medical billing business or if you have already built one but you don't know how to improve its profitability or scale it up - buy this book and keep it close for frequent reference.

beyond theoretical , 2008-05-28
I love books that take me beyond theoretical discussions about complex problems and show real life solutions! Dr. Lirov has not only developed a powerful approach to an amazingly complex problem but also explained it in simple and straightforward terms.
Practicing Profitability is a great book about an awesome system that packs in plenty of practical ideas for many medical billing problems. A must read.

 Overpriced and not that useful, 2008-05-14
I got the feeling that all the reviews here are 'I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine'. This book is a Software Requirements for EHR/EMR. It is overpriced and is a blatant marketing material for a software system that the author endorses. Its name appears at least once on a page. The book has some merits but it should be half the price.
