Medical Billing - Electronic Billing
The world of medical billing has come a very long way. In the old days, you’d go to your doctor, have your treatment, for whatever it may have been, get your bill, submit your check or give him cash and that was the end of it. Of course, if you had insurance, which back in the stone ages was as rare as hens’ teeth, the doctor then sent a paper bill to the insurance carrier, whether it be a private carrier, Medicare or Medicaid. We all know how easy it is for paper to get lost. Well, those days are long behind us. Yes, some doctors still live in the stone ages, but the majority have entered the modern era with the rest of the world and have begun to utilize what is known as electronic medical billing.
