Like an ordinary geographical dictionary, The Dictionary of Imaginary Places contains alphabetically organized entries for more than a thousand locales. In this case, however, the locales in question are far from ordinary--they range from the orc-ridden wastes of Tolkien's Middle-earth to the languorous shores of Homer's Island of the Lotus-Eaters. Though for the most part these fantastical lands are mapped and chronicled with straight-faced seriousness, the encyclopedia is not without a certain deadpan wit. For example, the entry for Oz describes "a large rectangular country divided into four small countries.... As a famous visitor once remarked, Oz is not Kansas." This handsome and whimsically charming book, adorned with fanciful line drawings and maps, is rich with enough fictive detail to please the most inveterate reader..

Hot-off-the-presses, this is the newly revised and updated second editon of the must-have guide for working with insurance Whether you've thought about accepting insurance, you work with a few plans, or would rather sell your soul than join an insurance network, this is a must-have reference. Even if you only give clients an invoice to give to their insurance plan, this easy-to-read manual will teach you what EVERY therapist should know about insurance.

In an easy-to-follow and entertaining format, it explores the myths and realities of working with insurance, and answers all your questions about working with employee assistance, managed care, and traditional insurance plans.

It promises to challenge what you thought you knew about insurance, and give you the knowledge to better help your clients, because what you don't know can hurt them -- or you. You'll be able to help your clients make informed choices about the risks and benefits of using insurance, and address their confidentiality concerns. At the same time you'll learn how to avoid making costly mistakes that might end up in a claim denial, and the 13 all-too-common billing practices that could jeopardize your license.

Using a case example, it takes you step-by-step through every detail of working with a client's coverage, giving insider tips for dealing with insurance companies (including how to get thorough to a person with a pulse when you call). You'll find useful forms including a sample invoice, treatment agreement, appeal letter, payment tracker, and a worksheet you can use when checking benefits. You'll also get line-by-line instructions for completing the new CMS-1500 claim form most plans now require, a comprehensive glossary of insurance terms, and pages chock-full of helpful resources.

Written by a therapist with 16 years experience with more than 20 insurance plans, this practical manual won't gather dust on your bookshelf -- you'll use it again and again in your practice.

Topics include:
Ways to accept insurance without joining provider networks,
Becoming a preferred provider: What they look for,
The crucial questions to ask when checking insurance,
The most common errors therapists make on claims,
Tips for speedy reimbursement,
The difference between EAPs, HMOs, PPOs, and POS plans -- and why you should care,
Must you take discounts? Can you get raises?
Will your treatment be micromanaged? Can you do long-term therapy?
Can you client's insurance plan ask to see your notes -- even if she submits the bill? (the answer is yes),
What you need to do when both members of the couple you are seeing have insurance plans?
And a self-quiz: Is accepting insurance right for you?

After you read this book, you will have the answer to all of these..

Personal-finance guru Andrew Tobias slams online trading and praises the Roth IRA in his newly revised The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need. This investment bible remains as stimulating and meaningful as it was when it was first published 20 years ago. It's packed with ideas about stocks, living beneath your means, tax planning, retirement, and just about everything else in the financial world. And all of it is presented with Tobias's trademark brevity and ingenuity.

Last revised in 1995, the guide takes aim at a new game in town--online trading. By all means, use the Internet for buying a car or for research, Tobias says. But avoid cyberspace brokers, he says. Point and click enough and you will get slaughtered by commissions, spreads, taxes, and human nature. "It's so easy to click 'OK' a few times and make a $10,000 bet," he warns. "Look how mesmerized we become on a stool in front of a slot machine. Internet investing positively teases you to play." Tobias's favorite new entry is the Roth IRA, which allows you to withdraw your money tax-free when you retire. It's far better than a traditional IRA, he asserts. "Save yourself the trouble of agonizing over the choice and go with the Roth IRA," he writes. "Forget the worksheets." Sometimes caustic and always a skeptic, Tobias believes readers can shape their own financial futures. Just stick to the basics, he says. "By and large, you should manage your own money, via no-load mutual funds," he writes. "No one is going to care about it as much as you." It doesn't matter if it's 1978, 1998, or even 2008. The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need still is exactly that. Some things never change. --Dan Ring.
