Every healthcare provider, whether a medical doctor, poditrists, dentist, or surgeon that delivers a service receives money for these services. While most of them prefer to collect payment from patients at the end of the office visit, the majority of their fees are processed by filing a claim with the patient's health insurance provider, managed care organization, or government entities.
Coding for services in healthcare is complicated and therefore employers prefer to hire trained, and often, certified individuals to ascertain that their coder is proficient and familiar with different types of insurance plans and codes, and knows how to process and submit claims electronically, and enter codes into databases. They must also be able to collect payments, make adjustments, interprete EOB's, handle denied claims, and process appeals.
Eventually, an experienced medical record coder and biller may advance into higher more interesting positions, such as a senior technician who specializes in coding, particularly in the realm of Medicare coding, or in tumor registry.
