HEALTH CLAIMS SPECIALIST COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Medical Billing & Medical Coding
What does a health claims specialist do? They work in a variety of health care settings: hospitals, long term care facilities, doctor’s offices, and dentist’s offices completing billing, coding of patient treatments for insurance purposes, managing patient records, and computer entry. The Health Claims Specialist may do all these jobs in a small medical practice or specialize in one medical specialty. They are often seen as the physician’s key to receiving reimbursement.
