Medical billing is unlike billing in other industries. Collecting allowable reimbursement for medical services while navigating health plans, payer types, and healthcare regulations requires highly specialized professionals. Physicians and provider organizations depend on knowledgeable medical billers, as the financial health of their business is only as strong as their billing team.
Becoming a certified professional biller (CPB) positions you as a valuable and in-demand professional qualified to work in any healthcare setting, including physician offices, ambulatory surgery centers, health systems, hospitals, dentists’ offices, billing companies, and more.
Advance yourself into a rewarding career path in medical billing. This course was designed by the creators of the exam to prepare you in full for exam day. No other certification is needed to attain this credential. A certification like this is a great way to both establish your skills and differentiate yourself within the healthcare business job market.
