Medical Insurance Billing and Coding Specialist

Medical Coders take doctor’s orders and other documentation and translate them into medical codes that can be used across the health care system. Every patient seen has a record, and it’s the medical coder’s job to translate these records into codes that can be shared across healthcare and insurance providers. Medical Billers use these codes to determine the patient’s coverage and submit claims for payment to their insurance carrier.
