Medical Billing Practices OFFC 1007

In this course, you will explore billing service fee codes and medical billing processes, including data entry for both manual and computer billing in Canadian provincial billing systems and the different billing procedures in physicians’ offices and hospitals. The course will address EMR(electronic medical record systems), billing for visits, supplementary items, and diagnostic procedures carried out in a medical office, a hospital, or home. It is essential that you learn how to accurately process claims and forms related to alternate billing such as what is needed for government services (e.g. WorkSafeBC), reciprocal procedures, and private third party companies. Emphasis is placed on the MSC Payment Schedule and Diagnostic Code Descriptions from the Medical Services Plan website, The Doctors of BC Uninsured Services Fee Guide and other services across Canada. You will create a patient list, perform data entry comprising of patient demographics, service fee codes, and diagnostic fee descriptions. You will generate an electronic patient claim sheet record which includes billing codes, specialist details and billing notes through given outlined medical clinical scenarios. The General Preamble, General Services and Family Medicine sections of the MSC payment schedule provide the foundation for billing a medical service provided to a patient. Focus is on referencing the General Practice fee codes and their significance to age of the patient and type of service/visit provided. Practical application will introduce the learner to processing patient information beginning with registration, insurance verification, health history, and contact information required to create an electronic medical record. Billing visits use specific age-related codes referenced from an MSP Fee Schedule. Attention to detail and accuracy of entries and verification of billing entries prior to posting into batches is essential.
