What is most challenging about a medical billing and coding specialist job?
The physician documentation is not as clear as I would like at times. Sometimes I have to put bits and pieces together to find the answer, and then go back and ask the physician. I read the charts, but 10 or 20 percent of the time I have to ask the physician. The physician’s answer is only as good as my question. I get better answers with better questions. Over time, the physicians learn to document the issue before it comes to me so I don’t have to ask them.
