A good medical biller possess many skills.. One very important skill is time management. Most medical billing specialists have relatively independent jobs. While their office will typically be in the clinic, hospital, or doctor's office they serve, they have a good deal of freedom over what tasks are completed and when.
Their day won't usually be scheduled from hour to hour. Instead, a medical billing specialist has a certain amount of work that needs doing, and they get to choose the manner in which their tasks are executed.
Because of this, it's essential that a medical billing specialist learns to manage their time. Every moment they spend at their job should be put to good use. Medical billing specialists have a huge amount of responsibilities, and the work can pile up, especially if they work at a moderately sized practice.
A medical billing specialist will need to issue bills and follow up on the payments. They will need to communicate with medical professionals, coders, insurance companies, and patients as previously mentioned. On top of these tasks, they will be responsible for certain aspects of software management. A medical billing specialist will have to set up work collection accounts when patients are paying their bill on a long-term basis and be familiar with their practice's billing system and records.
When there are rate changes, they will need to update their billing software to make sure it continues making accurate calculations. A medical billing specialist will also need to update cash spreadsheets and run collection reports as needed. They may be responsible for preparing financial information for the practice's accountants. They might also need to create reports that reflect the practice's current financial trends and expenses.

Quality #3 for a good medical biller:
Ability to Problem Solve
The ability to problem solve is another one of the important qualities necessary for a medical billing specialist. Their job involves more than just issuing bills. They also have to communicate with the insurance companies and patients when payments are late, or when things go wrong in the payment process.
It's important to approach every interaction with the goal of finding a solution. When they are talking to insurance companies about denied claims, a medical billing specialist should try to find a way to appeal the claim or otherwise get the necessary payment. With patients, you may be responsible for setting up work collection accounts and patient payment plans.
The ability to problem solve will be most important when interacting with patients. Unlike insurance companies, many patients simply don't have the funds to pay their bills right away. When they make patient payment plans, there should be collaborative efforts that reduce the financial burden for the patient while still ensuring their practice eventually gets paid.

Quality #2 for a good medical biller:
Active Listening
Active listening is another one of the most important qualities for a medical billing specialist. It goes hand-in-hand with good communication. Not only do medical billing specialists need to make themselves understood, but they need to understand others.
One area in which active listening is important is when a medical billing specialist talks to the healthcare professionals they work with. They will need to listen to them when they explain the procedures done or any special considerations they should take into account.
Active listening is also important when a medical billing specialist is talking to insurance representatives. In most cases, after they send out a bill, the insurance company will pay, and no further action is required. However, in those cases when the insurance company denies the claim, the medical billing specialist needs to talk to the company about the reason behind the denial. It's important to obtain as much information as possible, especially if they plan to do research to have the claim approved.
A medical billing specialist will also need to employ active listening when they talk to patients, especially patients whose payments are overdue. Some patients may have trouble paying their copays, especially if the amount is high.
