The Medical Billing and coder professional, also referred to as a Medical Biller, is the person responsible for the prompt and accurate medical billing and coding of medical insurance claims. As the person in charge of billing, the Medical Biller reviews the medical insurance which is presented as payment for medical treatment performed on patients.
The Medical Billing and Coding professional then processes the insurance claims by submitting them to the patient's insurance provider. This is a very important position, as the MEDICAL BILLER is responsible for the revenue of the medical facility.
The Medical Billing and Coding specialist:
- Submits documentation of care to insurance companies
- Handles day-to-day medical billing procedures
- Completes medical insurance claim forms
- Schedule appointments
- Explain insurance benefits to patients
- Processes bills to insurance companies
Medical billing is essentially the key factor to ensure that a doctor's office gets paid. Every medical office needs to maintain patient financial accounts and arrange for collecting payment of services. This involves knowing the different methods of billing insurance companies and patients, and understanding various collection methods. Although challenging at times, being a Medical Biller can be a rewarding career and allow you to earn top wages.
In order to be reimbursed for services, medical facilities must document all patient diagnostic and procedural information using correct medical terminology. This is referred to as 'coding.' Standardized codes exist for all types of services, tests, treatments and procedures provided in a medical office, clinic or hospital. The combination of these codes tells the health insurance companies which services were performed. Without proper coding of procedures, doctors' offices cannot obtain reimbursement from insurance companies.
Medical Billing and Coding is a profession that plays a crucial part in the healthcare industry. The Medical Biller and Coder is responsible for reviewing and creating medical records for documentation supporting not only assignment of a specific code to a medical condition, but also the medical necessity of the prescribed treatment.
Upon graduation, you will be qualified to work as a Medical Insurance Biller, a Medical Records Coder or a Health Information Technician in places such as: Hospitals, Private Doctor Offices, Dental Offices, Home Health Agencies, Medical Equipment Suppliers, Clinics, Chiropractic Offices, Drug Treatment Centers, Insurance Companies, Laboratories, Group Medical Practices, Physical Therapy Offices, Clinics, HMO's, Pharmacies, Eye Glass Stores, Surgical Suppliers, Ambulance Companies, Nursing Agencies, MRI Centers, Testing Facilities, Nursing homes. Medical billers can work for the insurance company itself reviewing insurance claims. Many students have also opened their own Medical Billing Companies.

Other titles Medical Billers go by are: Medical billing specialist, Medical Billing and coding specialist, Medical coding specialist, Billing assistant and support help, Billing and coding support personnel, billing and/or coding workers, billing and/or coding clerks. Some medical billers are known as Medical Insurance Biller, Medical Records Coder or a Health Information Technician Insurance billing specialist.
When working for a doctor or hospital, you will be expected to correctly bill the insurance company. Once the bill is sent out you will be expected to follow up until the bill is paid. Medical billing and coders must be willing to take directions. Alternately, they must also be able to work competently without constant instruction. A medical biller and coder must enjoy attention to detail, performing precise work, which is essential for proper medical reimbursement. Even if a task is repetitive, a medical billing and coding worker must be able to complete the task accurately every time. Finally, all employers want dependable employees, but dependability is especially important for medical billing and coding professionals since a medical facility depends on money to stay in business.
When working as a medical billing and coder for an insurance company, you will be expected to examine each claim to make sure it is correct before giving approval for the medical insurance claim bill.
Medical Billers and coders can work varying schedules. There is full-time and part-time work. When working as a Medical biller and coder, you usually work the same hours as a clinic is open when working for a private doctor or clinic. This may include evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Because some hospitals are open 24-hours a day, a medical biller coder may work varying shifts. As their seniority increases, medical billers and coders often have increased control over the hours they work. There are many opportunities for part-time work and full-time work.
Candidates interested in becoming medical billers should not have a prior record for forgery, or stealing company funds, insurance or any kind of financial fraud. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are needed because there is a lot of interaction with patients, co-workers, insurance companies and health care professionals.
We have many graduate billing and coding students who have decided to continue their medical education; they are cross-trained. Our Medical Billing and Coding course is a great opportunity to enter the health field in a short time, and at a low cost. While working as a Medical Biller and Code, you will be around many medical professionals who can help guide you. Also, many students have gone on to start their own business.
Yes, we have many out-of-state students pursue our medical billing and coding study at the Manhattan Institute. We do not charge out-of-state students higher tuition. All students pay the same price for their education. Although most of our students come from the tri-state area, and the five boroughs of New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan, our Midtown New York City location makes it easy for students in the tri-State area - Long Island, Westchester, Upstate NY, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. We have had students from all over the United States study with us. In fact, we have had several students from different foreign countries. Our low tuition makes it a very good alternative. Many students combine study with a vacation. New York City is a great City to visit, and even a better one when you pursue an education at the Manhattan Institute.
No, the Manhattan Institute is not a College or University. We are a licensed and accredited Career School. College and Universities are designed to give long training and a degree. Students enroll with us because they are not interested in going to a College. A College or University offers a program two to four years. Our classes are short, most are under two months.
No, Adult Education offered at Colleges and Universities offer a certificate program. Their course has not gone through the same State or Federal Accreditation procedures as the Manhattan Institute. A College will offer courses, which have been traditionally taught at Career Schools as a way to raise revenue, with no Federal or State supervision.
We are better at what we do. We only teach Vocational education. A college or university lists career school programs under "adult education" and they give you a certificate, not a diploma. The Manhattan Institute is authorized by the State Education Department to issue a diploma to all our graduates. Many College and Universities even "farm" this adult education to a third party who rents space. Students think that the College has authority over the course, but in reality they do not.
Yes, we have many foreign students who choose to study at the Manhattan Institute. We do not charge foreign students higher tuition. All students pay the same price for their education.

Our New York City location gives our foreign students a wonderful opportunity to take in all the culture and wonders Manhattan has to offer, while pursuing there education. Our low tuition makes it a very good alternative. Many students combine study with a vacation. New York City is a great City to visit, and even a better one when you study at the Manhattan Institute.
