Quick Answer

What is Medical Billing?

Medical Billing is the process of submitting and following up on healthcare claims with insurance companies to get providers paid.

Definition

Medical Billing uses codes from medical coding to prepare and submit claims to insurers, handle rejections, appeals and patient invoicing. It sits downstream of coding in the revenue-cycle process.
