Product Description
by Jordan K. Ledger (Author)
The only medical-billing guide that explains everything while clarifying absolutely nothing.
A perfect gift for anyone who has ever received a bill, questioned reality, and lost.
If you've ever stared at a medical bill and whispered, "this can't be right", then this book is for you.
Publisher's description:
"Fee. Fee plus modifier. Fee plus unexplainable surcharge. Adjustment to the adjustment of the previous adjustment. Patient responsibility = TBD."
So begins Jordan K. Ledger's landmark satire: a sweeping, meticulously unhelpful excavation of medical billing's psychological, linguistic, and spiritual collapse-a text that appears to be a survival guide but is, in fact, a meticulously typeset shrug.
Or it may not.
Here, the experts weigh in:
"Coding, recoding, decoding. The bill arrives before the service, after the service, and instead of the service. Ledger captures the true entropy at the heart of healthcare."
- Dr. Helena Worksheet, Senior Claims Processor, Level 9
"An incisive analysis of co-pay epistemics. My entire department felt seen and immediately filed denials."
- Marjorie 'The No Machine' Halberd, Director of Prior Authorization
"An important contribution to the field of professional confusion. Ledger writes with the confidence of a man who has never successfully understood an EOB."
- Professor Lance Deductible, University of Billing Sciences
Jordan K. Ledger writes comprehensive guides for professional labyrinths responsible for raising the nation's collective blood pressure. His mission is simple: expose the absurdity baked into modern professional life, one joke at a time.
Useful? No. Cathartic? Yes. Giftable? Extremely.
This work is satire. No medical, legal, or billing advice is provided.
