Handles demographic registration/updates, charge entry, and claim monitoring and correction. May also assist patients and insurance companies with billing and authorization questions, and coordinates with providers using hospital schedules to ensure all visits are accounted for.
Requires a high school diploma or GED. Candidates need CPC or CCS-P certification, or must be able to pass the clinic's own comprehensive coding test in place of certification. Prior coding education/experience preferred but not required — this is an accessible entry point for newer coders.
