What's the Medical Biller's Scope of Practice?
 Trained professionals, this includes doctors, nurses, paramedics, barbers, manicurists, and many other professions have what is called a Scope of Practice. That is basically a line that is drawn that says; "To stay within your scope of practice, and out of trouble, you can do this, this, this, but not that!". A pediatrician is a doctor that treats children. You don't see pediatricians go to a hospital treating an elderly person's ingrown toenails, and you don't see EMTs giving hair cuts in the back of an ambulance. Professionals have a scope of practice, or limitations to what they can and cannot do. As an unregulated profession, medical billers have no such thing (officially!) but nevertheless, they still must stay within certain boundaries specific to their field. Medical Billers have a simple task: Billing. That means, they send a claim to an insurance company, post payments, respond to outside information requests that relate to the claim, follow up on a claim with no response, communicate with the patient, or their insurance company about a claim that is denied, in review or pending, send statements to the patient, and turn over delinquent accounts to the providers debt collection agency. Basically, they stay within the boundaries of their training. What Medical Billers are Not!
