For physicians, whether as an employee, in solo or group practice, in the private or public sector; it is imperative that that they code and bill appropriately for their services to derive income from their work in order to support themselves. Most outsource these activities to a professional biller. Given that up- or over-coding can result in fraud and abuse charges and down- or undercoding can result in significant financial loss to physician practices, this is the responsibility of every professional biller to oversee.

Professional billers support physicians to
a) perform well as health care professionals,
b) comply with regulations and
c) receive appropriate payment for services rendered.
