A medical billing company should help reduce your expenses

Medical Billing is the practice of submitting claims to Insurance companies or the United States government, specifically medicare in order to receive payment for services provided to a patient by a doctor.

This process is typically performed in a series of steps where the doctor examines a patient who is sick or provides other services. Depending on the service provided and the examination, the doctor creates or updates the patient's medical record. This record will record the things that the patient noted to the doctor regarding illnesses or lifestyle. These form the basis for the diagnosis (may be multiple) that are referenced by the doctor as the basis for treatment.

The treatment, along with the diagnosis, and even the time spent with the patient all can be combined to determine the level of service or procedures that were provided to a patient. The doctor then either provides this information to a medical billing coder (A certified professional coder is known as a CPC.) or may do the coding himself. Next a billing record, either paper (usually a standardized form called an HCFA) or electronic, is generated with the information, including various diagnoses identified by using numbers from the current ICD-9 manual.

This billing record or claim is then submitted either to a clearinghouse that acts as an intermediary for the information (this is typical for electronic records) or directly to the insurance company.
