Do Medical Billing Specialists have to be licensed?
No – licensing for medical billing careers is not necessary. Im not aware of any state or local entity that tries to license medical billing. Licensing is different than certification. Licensing is typically required by state government agencies to demonstrate a minimum level of knowledge or ability as required by law. The only time a license would be required is for a medical billing service business which typically require a business license issued by the local city or municipality.
