Medical billing usually comes with the stigma of being a rather boring job to hold. The truth is that most people who hold this position usually wind up being office managers and are the nuts and bolts of the doctor’s office and business if you will.
It is so important that doctor’s offices run like well oiled machines. There is no room for error when it comes to doctor’s files and insurance communications. It is the job and responsibility of the medical biller to examine the medical invoices prepared by the doctor, check that the proper codes are being used and communicate with the insurance company on behalf of the patient while they are under the care of the physician, medical professional or hospital that the biller is representing.
In the case that there is a miscommunication or improper billing it is up to the medical biller to speak on behalf of the patient and fight for the coverage that is rightfully theirs.
