We offer reliable and accurate medical billing and coding in Bradenton, while also servicing St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Plant City, Tarpon Springs, and other surrounding cities.
Medical Billing VS Medical Coding
The main difference between medical billing and medical coding is that medical billing focuses on the patients while medical coding focuses on the doctors and healthcare providers.
Medical billing is the process of identifying and submitting patients’ medical claims (diagnoses, medical tests, treatments, and procedures) to insurance and government agencies for services rendered to the patient to reimburse the physician.
Medical coding translates the identified and submitted medical claims applying CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10 CM standardized codes; this ensures the accuracy of the services the patient received.
These codes are different “languages” to ensure that the government agencies and insurance companies understand the procedures and tests the doctor performed.
At Accelerated Medical, we ensure that we cover all aspects of medical billing and coding in Bradenton so that you can focus more on your patients and not the differences between medical billing and medical coding services or which codes to input.
We guarantee reimbursement in a timely fashion.
