Healthcare Management
Medical Billing Track
The Medical Billing Track allows students to identify and navigate the healthcare
reimbursement for services. Medical billers apply the codes from the medical coders
to billing system, so insurers and patients are correctly invoiced. Attention to detail
is important to avoid rejected claims or overcharging. Knowledge of the health plans,
payer types, and healthcare regulations requires highly specialized professionals.
Medical billers are vital for the financial health of the business of medicine for
physicians and provider organizations. Medical billers manage the claims through the
revenue cycle process and may work remotely, depending on the healthcare organization.
