Medical billing and coding!!!!

Medical billing is nothing but "Managing Financial Data of a physician for his/ her healthcare services rendered to the patient". In other words "Medical billing refers to the process by which a health insurance claim is prepared and submitted to a third payer for reimbursement."

s frnd tell me r u from india??

I don't know much about billing and coding. I am a medical transcriptionist. I have seen people doing medical billing and coding. I think it is taking codes and making billing for the insurance purposes by different medical students.

Medical coders maintain patients' medical records using a universally recognized coding system (ICD-9 index) to ensure compliance with federal regulations and insurance requirements. Medical billing is a subspecialty of medical coding. Although there are programs that offer medical billing training by itself, you should consider a program that combines both billing and coding in one training program, since medical coding is the first step in the medical billing process.
