response: Well, it is an encouraged thing to do but the law does not require it.
original_response: I know, its not required that I go, but its encouraged.
history: medical bills are too expensive! i cant keep up. I see, did you know to get payment for services, healthcare providers also do things like submitting and following up claims to health insurance companies? No, but I can see why it is stressful for them too I guess. I just wish it wasn't so expensive, they can probably just punch it through without worry on the web. Do you receive your bills on paper still? Yes, I usually do. Some are paperless though. At least medical software has made it easier to manage claims. Have you ever managed a claim? No, but if one wished to enter the medical billing field, a certification school can provide theoretical groundings. Ah I see, I'm not interested if you were implying that. Also certification school, so medical billers need certification?
knowledge: Medical billers are encouraged, but not required by law, to become certified by taking an exam such as the CMRS Exam, RHIA Exam and others.
