Stephanie Guzman

Medical Billing and Coding is one of the fastest-growing careers in the health care industry today. The need for professionals that understand how to code health care services and procedures for third-party insurance reimbursement continues to grow substantially. Physician practices, hospitals, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, chiropractic practices, physical therapy practices, and other health care providers all depend on medical billing and coding for insurance carrier reimbursement. This online instructor-led course teaches the skills needed to solve insurance billing problems, file claims (using the CPT and ICD-10-CM manual), complete common insurance forms, overview trace delinquent claims, examine the process to appeal denied claims, and use generic forms to streamline billing procedures.
