While the terms Medical Billing and Coding are often used together and someone can serve as both a Biller and a Coder, it’s important to note that Billing and Coding are NOT the same thing!
Medical Billing is a process in which claims are submitted to insurance companies (and followed up on, as necessary) to receive payment for services provided by a doctor or another healthcare provider.
Medical Coding is a process in which codes are assigned to the descriptions of a patient’s condition as well as the healthcare services provided to the patient to treat and/or care for that condition.
