What does a medical biller do?

Medical billers generally work in healthcare settings to manage the billing process for claims. They’re often the final staff member reviewing a patient’s treatment or services file, and they convert clinical notes and codes into accurate claims forms. Medical billers submit electronic and paper claims, supporting workflows that help support timely filing and consistent cash flow for healthcare offices, hospitals and other providers.

Medical billers may also help document remitted payments, supporting a facility’s accurate patient accounting.

Experience working in a detail-oriented, highly regulated environment
Understanding of privacy laws such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and how to protect patient data
Strong math skills for reconciling payment reports and calculating copays and deductibles
Excellent computing skills, including an understanding of electronic health records (EHR) and claims software

Medical biller experience requirements

Medical biller job description FAQs

Medical coders enter data and classify treatments based on standardized insurance billing codes. They also match diagnosis codes with clinical decisions, helping to ensure consistent coding in patients’ files.

Medical billers use those codes to file insurance claims for appropriate reimbursement. In smaller businesses, they may follow up with patients to collect payments. In larger medical organizations, employers may separate these positions.

Medical billers may work remotely, depending on your claims billing needs and workflow. Many electronic health records and claims billing solutions are available in the cloud, making remote workflows possible.

Due to data and privacy regulations in the healthcare field, organizations hiring remote medical billers typically need safeguards to protect patient data, such as encryption or user-access control.
