Medical Billers
Medical billers are one half of a complex system that comprises the communication structure between health care providers and insurance carriers (the other half being medical coders). Medical billers are responsible for passing information between the health provider and the insurance carrier, a process that can sometimes be very complicated. Insurance carriers often reject patients' bills, so part of the medical biller's job is to make adjustments to the bill in order to make it acceptable to both the insurer and the health care provider.
