I had absolutely no interest in medical billing and coding until I watched this video that came up on random auto play. I now have a strange desire to learn more....
thanku!!!im about to start my internship private college ,seeing if I want to advance for health administration and go all the way. online schooling of course. if you have any tips?lmk.nervous about hands but excited to learn . very helpful!!!
It's called reimbursing because they see the patient first before being paid..the doctors are using their time [which equals money] and then later gets reimbursed for their time.
As a current medical coder for a Mental/Behavioral health I can tell you that the words you use are very vague and some of your information isnt correct. 1. CPT and ICD are practically the same thing it just comes down to what medical profession and what the doctor feels their services more relate to. For example I work in a therapist's office and we only use CPT codes for the services we provide. Number 2. when you submit claims to an insurance company and they come back denied or rejected you dont simply make the corrections and resubmit cause then its going to be denied AGAIN!!!!! you need to make your corrections and then you also need to include the original claim number along with that insurance company's corrected claims code that needs to be with the newly corrected claim. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND CORRECT YOU VIDEOS.
No, the information you are giving is incorrect. I am a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) and a Certified Risk Adjustment Coder CRC) and I have been coding and billing for more than 9 years. this lady trained me for my Risk Adjustment certification and she definitely knows her coding. You are speaking on two separate things - 1st- CPT stands for the Current Procedural Terminology which are the codes for the surgical procedures performed by the physician in an outpatient setting. ICD stands for the International Classification of Diseases which are the codes for the medical issues or conditions (ailments) the physician has tested the patient for and diagnoses the patient for having. These two sets of codes are very much different and they are NOT the same thing across any Medical Profession. 2nd-Medical Billing is the reimbursement for services rendered. For an outpatient claim, such as the therapist's office, you will submit a CMS-1500 claim form. If you send a claim, there are many scenerios as to why that claim can be rejected or denied. Making corrections does not result in a second denial and if it does, then the 1st correction was not made properly. There is a difference in Rejected and Denied claims and the reasons are very different. Rejected claims result from basic informational errors missing or numbers transposed and these never make it to the insurance company. These errors are caught by the clearinghouse and returned to the sender for correction. Denied claims actually make it to the insurance company and processes. The insurance company will sent the remittance advice they send with payment explains why certain claims were not paid. You may want to seek more medical coding training.
I haven't even finished the video and your helping me already !! love you for this
you're*!

Do bills have different codes?
If you are sure that Medicare will not cover a service can you have the patient sign the ABN and pay upfront in full?
