Nice blog with good information. Medical billing, depending on whether you are billing paper claims or electronically, is a totally different animal for each. Electronic claims have one thing that paper claims don't have. And while they pay faster, thus the reason for billers to bill electronically, they can also be a royal pain in the backside because of all the restrictions and requirements.
