Well, it is an encouraged thing to do but the law does not require it.
I know, its not required that I go, but its encouraged.
medical bills are too expensive! i cant keep up. I see, did you know to get payment for services, healthcare providers also do things like submitting and following up claims to health insurance companies? No, but I can see why it is stressful for them too I guess. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, they can probably just punch it through without worry on the web. Do you receive your bills on paper still? Yes, I usually do. Some are paperless though. At least medical software has made it easier to manage claims. Have you ever managed a claim? No, but if one wished to enter the medical billing field, a certification school can provide theoretical groundings. Ah I see, I'm not interested if you were implying that. Also certification school, so medical billers need certification?
Medical billers are encouraged, but not required by law, to become certified by taking an exam such as the CMRS Exam, RHIA Exam and others.
