About this title

Synopsis

The seventh edition of Medical Insurance: An Integrated Claims Process Approach emphasizes the medical billing cycle―ten steps that clearly identify all the components needed to successfully manage the medical insurance claims process. The cycle shows how administrative medical professionals “follow the money.” Medical insurance specialists must be familiar with the rules and guidelines of each health plan in order to submit proper documentation, which then ensures that offices receive maximum, appropriate reimbursement for services provided. Learn the skills you need for your health professions career using multiple digital resources. The claims case studies can be completed via CMS-1500 form activities or by using simulated Medisoft exercises, both available in Connect, McGraw-Hill’s homework and assessment platform. Read and study the content more effectively―spending more time on topics you don’t know and less time on the topics you do―by using LearnSmart and SmartBook, McGraw-Hill’s revolutionary adaptive learning technology.
