Responsibilities Of Medical Billing And Coding Specialists

These professionals are assigned the task and responsibility of processing patient's records and data related to their treatment and medical insurance information. While small medical offices may assign the task of both billing and coding to one individual, these are actually two separate jobs.

Coders are responsible for assigning codes to medical processes for the purpose of obtaining right reimbursement from insurance companies. They do not have to interact with patients or insurance agencies, and so this profession is good for candidates, who like crunching numbers, analyzing information and processing codes.

Medical billers are responsible for correctly billing insurance agencies and ensuring medical reimbursements. They interact directly with insurance companies as well as patients.
