What is medical coding and billing?
Medical billers and coders play a vital role in the healthcare industry. They are responsible for translating medical information (diagnoses, tests, treatments and procedures) into standardized codes that are used to bill government and commercial payers. Their work bridges the gap between healthcare providers, insurance companies, and patients — to ensure proper billing for medical services provided, while maintaining the integrity of the healthcare system.
Who would succeed in a medical billing/coding career?
Medical billing and coding careers appeal to individuals from all walks of life and skill levels. With the healthcare industry's reputation for stability, this field is particularly enticing for those who prioritize job security, with the added benefit that nearly 60% of these jobs can be performed remotely.
What is the Certified Professional Biller (CPB) course?
In the CPB certification course, students will develop skills related to maintaining all aspects of the revenue cycle, particularly patient and payer billing and collections. Without expertise in medical billing and the nuances of payer requirements, healthcare provider reimbursement may be compromised. Through rigorous examination and experience, CPBs have proven knowledge of how to submit claims compliant with government regulations and private payer policies. They follow up on claim statuses, resolve claim denials, submit appeals, post payments and adjustments, and manage collections. The CPB medical billing credential is vital to the financial success of the professional healthcare services claims process.
What is the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) course?
The CPC certification course teaches fundamental medical coding skills for professional services (physicians, mid-level providers, etc.) and prepares you to take the CPC exam. The course covers CPT®, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM coding with hands-on practice coding real-world, redacted medical records. Assures a broad knowledge in reviewing and assigning the correct procedure and diagnosis codes for professional (physician) services.
