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 . 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 SmartBook®, McGraw-Hill Education’s revolutionary adaptive learning technology
