Host Question:
What is something that you love about working in medical billing and coding?

Guest Answer:
I really like the puzzle aspect of it together, whether it’s just one piece of documentation, you’re trying to pull everything out of that, or you’re looking at a series of documentation on one patient or a series of documentation from one provider. And you start seeing the overarching things and they all start drawing a picture.

Guest Answer:
I love that it’s like a game. You have the skill to play the game. It’s like a sport. You have a competitor. And if you’re working for health care provider, your competitor is your insurance company and you are playing the game of getting the information and getting the money in the door. There’s a lot of rules to playing the game. There’s a lot of tactics to playing it properly, and it’s very fun when the money comes in the door, even if it isn’t yours. The other thing is the flexibility. So many people want to work remotely. They want to work in a hybrid situation. They want to work in a small business environment, a large corporate environment. There are so many options available.

Guest Answer:
I absolutely love medical billing and coding because there’s always something new to learn and the flexibility has been a really great perk as well.

Guest Answer:
I love all of it. I love digging and finding and making sure that, you know, the code the provider uses to break the leakage part. I love the aspect of the people that I work around an hour where everything from our staff, as well as the different providers, the patients. I love being that answer that others are looking for. I love being able to share that information and shine a light on exactly what that it’ll be, that guide to the next step for them. For sure.

Guest Answer:
I actually like the challenge. You have to really dig in there sometimes and ask yourself, is this the right code, especially for procedures, there is a little bit of a gray area. So it’s important to stay in education, stay getting your continuing education credits. And things to keep you updated on the type of things that you’re coding and the new information coming out about those, the new guidelines and that kind of thing, they’re always changing. So I do like the challenge.
