Computers and Software<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most people in a modern setting know how to use computers. As a medical billing and coding specialist, you\u2019ll be using a computer every day. You\u2019ll need to become familiar with the software required to do your job while being able to troubleshoot common computer issues such as connectivity and software updates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Practice Management & Billing Software<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need to know how to navigate practice management and billing software. Not every doctor\u2019s office or clinic will use the same practice management software, nor will every health insurance company offer the same billing software. You\u2019ll need to know how to use both types of systems. The ICD-10 is another vital tool you have to master. Without the ICD-10, medical billing and coding specialists wouldn\u2019t have jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medical billing and coding specialists must also remember which companies use which programs. You can\u2019t confuse one company for another, which is why organizational skills are vital to your career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Office Software<\/span><\/h2>\n

You may need to know how to use office software. Microsoft Office is a popular choice, as is Google Drive. Both platforms allow you to store and save documents and spreadsheets. While using these programs, you must maintain patient privacy with regard to information security. Make sure your computer has robust security measures on it to prevent cybersecurity breaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual Communications<\/span><\/h2>\n

Medical billing and coding specialists work with healthcare agencies, but you probably won\u2019t spend a lot of time in a medical office. Virtual communication with your team is important here, so get ready to send and receive emails, attend meetings via video conference, and talk on the phone every once in a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
