Medical Billing Resources

This post is a follow up to my review of American Billing Systems LLC, a medical billing licensing company.  As I was researching that company I came across several sites that provided great information on medical billing. You can use the information below to further your due diligence on ABS or for any other medical billing opportunity.

What is Medical Billing?

 Medical billing is a complex procedure of billing and collecting professional fees for medical and health care services provided to patients. Doing it right requires a broad range of knowledge and understanding of the medical billing process and health insurance company rules.

This site offers a good overview on the medical billing industry; Medical Billing and Coding.net
