Course: SkillsCom CMA 200 15.0 > Section: Unit 1 Module 1

This course is designed to give you a broad overview of how the Coding and Reimbursement Specialist fits into a medical practice.

Coders are an integral part of any medical practice and can be asked to perform many duties and responsibilities in their effort to comply with all the rules and regulations, but also as they try to maximize reimbursement for their provider.

A coder as part of their job should know how the practice works, they should be able to understand the billing and "money" side of the practice, and they should understand patient flow.  These basic concepts of a medical office can help a Coding and Reimbursement Specialist maximize revenue.
