My office manager does all the billing. She was a banking supervisor and did ofiice and billing for a dental practice or two before coming to me.

I can't see sending it out. When it is done in house, the biller knows the patients, knows who is likely to be a no-pay and to start pushing them to pay sooner rather than later. Then the charts are right there so if it doesn't go through the electronic system she knows - and can look sutff up in the chart etc.

Learning the coding is not that hard - read the book - and take a course.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
