MEDICAL BILLING & CODING DEMYSTIFIED

Medical billing is a kind of payment used in the American healthcare system. In order to get compensated for services rendered, such as tests, treatments, and procedures, a healthcare practitioner must obtain insurance information from a patient and submit monitor, and appeal claims with health insurance carriers. Whether they are for-profit companies or projects supported by the government, the majority of insurance carriers use the same process.

Medical billers and coders are in charge of transforming clinical data from patient documents into uniform codes that private and public payers can distinguish between.
