Free Medical Billing & Coding Demystified
Unfortunately, this book won't impart a grasp of the fundamentals of medical billing/coding comparable to the one Coach John Wooden's players received for basketball, but I work in the field, and the authors aim--more or less successfully--at imparting such a grasp.
The meeting of health care and computers is key to medical billing and coding. Medical records is the last field to computerize. Opportunities abound.
The book is part of a McGraw Hill series, the pedagogical format of which is good.
I was given Understanding Health Insurance, 10th Edition at work, hardly a reader-friendly book. De-Mystified is a stepping-stone to it.
Table of Contents:
CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Medical Billing and Coding
The Economics of Healthcare
A Brief Look Back at Healthcare
Did you ever wonder how physicians and hospitals get paid? Probably not because in the United States we normally don't pay for medical care directly; instead our medical insurer pays for it. We simply visit our physician's office or the hospital and provide information about our health insurance. We might be asked to pay a token amount called a copay, but that's a fraction of the total medical bill. In this chapter, you'll be introduced to the business aspects of healthcare.
CHAPTER 2
Ethical and Legal Aspects of Medical Billing
Ethics and Medical Billing
Legal Aspects of Medical Billing
Contracts
Types of Criminal Law
Confidentiality
Medical insurance specialists work with patients' confidential medical records and therefore must adhere to ethical and legal standards common to the medical profession. This chapter discusses those standards and how to comply with them.
