Medical billers work for doctors, dentists, hospitals, and other medical care services. The main duty of a medical biller is to process insurance claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other insurance companies.
CAPs also verify bills, handle billing errors and monitors co-payments.
You must also be familiar with the coding system that is used by doctors and private insurance companies. It also helps if you are familiar with medical billing software, that is sometimes required by certain hospitals and doctors. Your personal pediatrician, dentist, chiropractor or general practitioner are usually the best sources for gaining potential customers. Cold calling is another excellent source of customers because doctors are extremely busy and usually do not have the time to hire and train new staff. They may appreciate a call from an experienced Medical Biller or Claims Processor.
