Medical billing is the process of sending invoices to insurance companies and collecting monies owed to medical professionals for the services provided to their patients. It is a specialized bookkeeping process utilizing the unique codes and diagnosis information assigned to these patients. There are customized software packages and required universal billing forms available to streamline this process. Medical billing encompasses far more than just the traditional physicians offices. With new practitioners starting up every day, the possibilities are limitless. Chiropractic, physical therapy, ambulance, dental, psychiatry, psychology, rehab therapy, nursing facilities, and a host of other practitioners all require specialized billing to collect from insurance companies the monies that they charge.

If you have ever been interested in pursuing a career in this fast-paced and ever-changing field, then stay tuned. There is a lot of information to come.
