HIT 192 - Healthcare Revenue Cycle I

Credit Hours: 3
The student will learn to write appeal letters to insurance companies when claims are denied. The student will learn to audit the encounter forms to make sure the charges are entered correctly. These are common functions of a medical biller in any medical setting. The student will also learn to audit the chargemaster to ensure the codes are set up correctly and pricing amounts set based on Centers for Medicare Services calculations. This is a function of a hospital medical biller. If the codes are not set up with pricing, this will prohibit claims from going out the door, which precludes the hospital from making money. These are important aspects of reimbursement.
