What are the benifits for billing and coding?

Benefits - to help the paper pushers know where to push the papers basically. Proper coding helps them make decisions, file, and process. Without proper billing and coding, things get lost and benefits can even be denied.





Wrong category - BTW - Alt Med often can't bill or code cause very few treatments insurance companies will recognize and pay for. Though they are catching up, slowly but surely. Which I hate to see happen, cause insurance is what made the MD prices skyrocket. See: http://www.marketmed.org/history.asp

Your question is not clear. Do you mean what are the benefits of working in this career field? If so,





-You are working in the medical field, which is interesting.


-You have the potential for a good income.


-If you enjoy continuing education, this is the field for you.


-If you like working on a computer, then you would find this type of work satisfying.


-If you like researching things, this is the field for you.


-If you want the potential to work from home, this is a good career choice.





If you work from home, you will probably be an independent contractor and responsible for your own benefit package. If you work in-house for a doctr, there will probably be health insurance, etc. benefits.





If you work for a hospital- holy moly- the benefits are EXCELLENT and the pay is pretty good too : )





This career field takes excellent training, but it can pay off well in the end.
Reply:Coding and billing are necessary for the insurance companies to correctly pay out the claims sent to them.





The coder assigns a code to correctly state what was done to the patient; the biller sends it in for payment.





If you mean what type of benefits to billers and coders get during employment...guess that is up to the doctor.
