Medical billing professionals need to know how to encode and decode procedures, billing statements, and diseases. This requires you to talk to patients and their insurance companies, whether by email or phone and organize statements. You also follow-up with failed payments, and payment denials and refusals.
You will have to enter the patients' information into your software application. The coding procedures are stringent, and coding mistakes can lead to legal implications. This is why medical coders need to be very knowledgeable, skilled, and thorough.
