Medical Billing by rasheed alnajjar

MEDICAL BILLING is useful to organize submissions to insurance companies to receive fees for medical services provided. It is not required by law, but medical billers are encouraged to become certified by taking a particular exam to be better prepared in the process of billing insurance companies. The method of medical billing can take several days to several weeks. The health care provider is contracted with insurance companies to dispense health care and keep medical records up to date for the insurance company. The patient records include not only a medical treatment summary and plans but demographic information, home address, phone numbers, policy numbers, social security number, and diagnosis. The records define the cause, treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis for future treatment of the patient. All the information in the patient records is highly confidential, but necessary for the insurance company to decide if the medical services supplied is appropriate for the patient and the dollar amount billed.
