The Medical Bill Survival Guide

Reviewed by Kam Aures for Rebecca’s Reads (12/10)

In the Introduction to “The Medical Bill Survival Guide,” Nicholas Newsad M.H.S.A. informs the reader that, “This book has wide appeal for those who need help with medical bills.  To date I have not yet found a book that concisely describes the most effective strategies for managing medical costs and speaking to billers and collectors.  I have assembled a straight-forward approach for doing exactly that.  The most common problems that people struggle with in this respect are relatively simple to me because I’ve worked for several years at the corporate level and on the front lines of a national healthcare management company and have a master’s degree in hospital administration.” (p. viii) Although it would be impossible to address every kind of problem, Newsad has set his sights on focusing on those issues that are most common.

Newsad’s guide is very organized and the information is presented in an easy-to-understand manner.  He illustrates his points with graphs and also by showing examples of the various forms used.   The table of contents is very detailed making it simple to look up your specific issue if you just want a quick reference guide.  However, at a compact 101 pages I think that anyone dealing with medical billing issues would find it beneficial to read the book in its entirety.  Newsad presents a lot of great information and I believe that by applying some of his strategies many people’s lives will be made a lot easier.  Knowledge is power and “The Medical Bill Survival Guide” will give you the knowledge to help yourself, or a family member.
