Work at Home As
a Medical Biller By Alice Scott and Michele Redmond Many people ask
me about working at home with their own medical billing business.
It's a field that is in high demand. As our population ages, more
and more people are seeing doctors more regularly. Doctors are ordering
more tests and diagnosing diseases earlier. This results in a lot
of medical bills being sent to insurance companies.
Commercial insurance
companies, Medicare and Medicaid all have their own individual rules
and guidelines on filing these insurance claims. In 2007 all providers
of medical services were required to obtain NPI numbers and submit
them on every claim form. This year even the forms that we file the
claims on have changed.Insurance carriers prefer that claims be submitted
electronically
because it saves them money on the expense of employees. Many doctors
offices don't even have computers so there is no way they are going
to submit their claims electronically. In a field with so many changes
insurance billing in the individual provider's office becomes difficult.
The billing person must not only keep up with her work load of billing
insurance claims and tracking payments Click
