I am a medical biller. I work in a physician’s office. When a patient comes in to the office and is seen by the doctor, I bill his or her insurance company for the visit. I have to submit diagnosis codes and procedure codes, based on the patient’s diagnoses and the treatment that he or she received. Sometimes, codes can be tricky. But I have protection against denials of claims. The medical billing clearinghouse notifies me of any errors. I submit the claims to the clearinghouse, and they submit them to the individual insurance companies. They check the claim to be sure that the codes are correct. If there is a claim that may be denied because of the codes, they send it back to me before submitting it to the insurance company.
