Behind the Scenes: How Medical Billers
Process Claims
Understanding how medical claims work is crucial for medical billers to efficiently manage the billing process. They follow a systematic approach, which includes:
- Patient Registration: Gathering essential patient information and insurance details to initiate the billing process.
- Medical Coding: Assigning appropriate codes to procedures and services rendered during the patient's visit.
- Claims Submission: Transmitting the coded claims electronically to insurance companies for reimbursement.
- Payment Processing: Handling received payments and reconciling them with outstanding balances.
- Denial Management: Resolving claim denials and submitting appeals, if necessary.
