Medical billing is an important factor in the health care industry. This process is the interaction between a doctor or healthcare provider and the patient's insurance company. The exchange begins with the doctors visit. The healthcare providers staff will book the appointment, create a file (or update the file) with the patient's current medical record. During the appointment, the healthcare provider will give the patient one or more diagnosis and treatment. The patient's record is updated with this diagnosis and suggested treatment. Once the file is updated, the diagnosis is then translated into a special 5 digit code. (Created from the Current Procedural Terminology)
After the diagnosis and suggested treatments have been discovered, the medical insurance biller can now do their job. They transmit the claim to the payer's insurance company. Generally, this is done electronically through a special medical billing software.
The patient's insurance company processes the claim. This is done by paid medical directors that review the claims and evaluate the validity based on the patients policy and the insurance companies guidelines. Once a claim is approved, the healthcare providers are reimbursed. Failed claims are rejected and notice is sent to provider.
Medical billing is very important for the insurance company.
