The medical billing profession has a high projected growth rate, as this role is vital to making sure that all healthcare providers receive payment for the services and supplies they provide. Physicians depend on billers for reimbursements that provide the cash flow used to pay their expenses, keep the medical facilities open, assure compliance with payer guidelines, and deal with government red tape.
The Medical Billing Specialist course offers valuable training in legal, ethical, and regulatory concepts that are central to this field, including HIPAA compliance, fraud and abuse in medical billing, and third-party payer guidelines. You will also understand all phases of the revenue cycle, including patient registration, charge capture, medical coding, claim submission, data analytics, payer reimbursement, patient billing, and collection practices.
