Medical Billing & Coding
Medical billing is the preparation of invoices for procedures rendered, and these are given to patients and insurance companies. Medical billers act as the financial waypoint between patients, providers, and payers. Without billers, healthcare providers couldn’t be reimbursed for the procedures they perform. The training videos in this section cover the key concepts and guidelines that underpin the billing process. You’ll learn how the insurance process works, and what types of payers affect the reimbursement process. Finally, we’ll discuss Medicare, Medicaid, and the regulations enforced under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. This helps summarize otherwise cumbersome medical reports into efficient, data-friendly codes. While complex and detail-driven, medical coding really comes down to knowing how to navigate the three main code sets: CPT, ICD, and HCPCS. These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition. We’ll train you to recognize how code set is organized and how each should be used.
Coding and billing are the invisible engines of the healthcare system. Without either field, the healthcare industry would be unable to efficiently transmit important data, and healthcare providers would have an incredibly hard time getting paid for their services. In a nutshell, it is the medical coder’s job to translate the healthcare provider’s report of a patient’s visit into numeric or alphanumeric code, which in turn is used by the medical biller to make a bill, or “claim,” for the insurance company and determine the appropriate charge for the patient. In this section, we’ll introduce you to the basic concepts of coding and billing, and we’ll give you an idea of what it’s like to work in these fields. You’ll learn about the leading professional organizations in coding and billing, and we’ll show you the certifications available for each position.
