Just wondering how it makes sense for someone to make significantly more as a billing manager than I am paid as a provider??? What job would you have if we didn’t work as hard as we do actually seeing patients???
I’m not understanding why anyone would work if it wasn’t for the money? That’s what confuses me.
I have been a Denials Specialist for 3 years working both remote and in person. I love my company but feel I am a little underpaid at 20.50$ an hour. Do you think that pay is accurate or should I advocate for a high pay? I was also thinking out possibly moving up to a Denial Prevention position within the company. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
I would also have the same question! I’m in the same role Denial Specialist also 3 years AR for 9 years along with training people and paid a little over $19 an hour and feel severely underpaid for the skill set I have. Feeling like it’s time to either explore the market or ask for a market review :/
How do you manage to go from this to that?
Any career paths within the same field where you don't have to manage people?? I have 7 yra of experience doing medical billing (charge entry/Auth submissions/collections) for both professional and facility, and am currently working as a denials specialist. I'd love to get where you are at some point, any tips?? Certifications? Programs I should be aware of?

I would recommend CPC to start. You will need some sort of medical terminology, but AAPC has a course on it. There is also RHIT. My suggestion would be try to get into a hospital/facility that uses Epic. That’s what all the big players use. Some places will even pay for your Epic certification.
Move to HCOL area?

Yes. I moved to San Jose, and for my next job I’m moving to SoCal. I had to escape my hometown to do this.
Wow congrats on that. Hugh accomplishment.

What does a billing manager do
Rising Star
Billing Manager or Medical Billing Manager oversees the medical billing process. Although now it is known as Revenue Cycle Manager, oversees the financial side of patient collections for a medical practice.
Congratulations. I have my Degree in HIT and I am actively applying for positions. Did you have a goal that you wanted to achieve before moving on or asking for higher salary?

I think for me, I had to make the move and not let myself get to tied to one role. For example, I just needed to find something just to leave my hometown. From there, the next step has been to look at how large the organization is that I’m interviewing with. For example, I was working with an FQHC that seemed to pay less even for HCOL area. My next move after that was to a physician owned practice, and then finally a hospital system.
Been a SNF Medicare/Insurance biller for 5 years busting my butt off and barely making a fraction of that! I have no degree and no certifications, since my job is so specific not sure what else I could add to make that kind of money. Wanting to find something remote but billers don’t get paid well. Any advise?

Coders can work remotely and there seems to be a high demand for them. Look into getting your CPC
Now is the time to jump around. It’s hard to find employees and seems most are understaffed.
Wow yes I need advice I am looking to break into revenue cycle management I just finished my bachelors in healthcare admin is there a certification to take to get more marketable.
Rising Star
I would suggest CPC for certified coder or RHIT for registered health information tech.
Whats the current job? And im about to get my healthcare admin license? Worth it?
Thank you Sharing! Yay congratulations 😁🫶🏽
Currently making 80K as an administrative resident. I still have one more year to complete my masters in Health administration, how long should I stay at the current company for? Hoping to move along in my career progress while also maximizing $$$ in the next few years

I would stay for at least a year, but, don’t let that stop you from applying for what you want. I always take the interview and use it to sharpen the skills of selling myself. If you ever get a good offer, you can take it to your current employer and see if they will match it.
I do Human Resources like unboarding, for DSPs I do partfives and upload on WAMS
I am good with theraps I do intake meetings from scratch to approval to onboarding of Dsp do quarterlies how do u think I might paid
Tell me everything! Please help! My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year and I took and lower paying job to get a foot in the door. I’ve gotten a small raise nothing in comparison to what I’ve taken on for work but I’m got to make very big moves because we are sinking. On top of that I just found out a brain tumor I had removed 7 years ago is back so now I’m on a timeline. I have about a year maybe 2 before I have to have surgery and could be out a long time.
yes what did you do i definitely would love to make that kind of money. Advise please!
Is your company hiring? I’ve been in billing/RC for almost 10 years I’m trying to break into 6 figures. The company I currently work for has great work life balance but just too small only handles PB, I prefer HB.
Nice!☀️
Sending you a dm! I'm a CPC (since 2018) & looking to branch out!
I couldn't send a dm but I'd love some advice. I have my AS in billing & coding, but have been coding only since 2016. I've been doing risk adjustment/hcc coding since 2019. I'm actually trying to land a job in WA but I currently reside in FL. Near impossible I'm finding. Any insight on positions/hospital systems I should apply for?
Looking on how I can get my foot in the door!
As someone who’s been in medical coding and billing for 9 years i can’t seem to get a role in revenue cycle. I have the experience, my knowledge is way further than most and my skill set speaks for itself yet still nothing. I’m stuck doing authorizations for inpatient and surgery. Any tips you may have?
