Medical Billing Process

The ideal number of claims a medical biller should process daily is 20-30 to maintain a balance between speed and accuracy. An analysis of billers is essential to ensure efficiency.

Daily Workload and Staffing

To handle 320 claims daily with 100 claims per biller per day, you would need 3 full-time billers, excluding other duties.

Challenges in Medical Billing

Patient education about billing, on-time payments, quality support, scope creep, disagreements, and lack of trust can be significant challenges in medical billing.

Software in Medical Billing

Software plays a key role in generating and transmitting claims. It includes patient details, diagnosis and procedure codes, and doctor’s charges.

Variability in Billers’ Responsibilities

While some billers focus solely on insurance claims, most adapt to various tasks to accommodate client needs in different practice areas.
