Formally known as Exercises in Health Claims Examining, The Practice of Health Claims Examining, 2e, contains a simulated work program to help you experience the real life situations that a claims examiner experiences on a daily basis. This book is created for use in conjunction with ICDC Publishing's Guide to Health Claims Examining. Some of the exercises in the simulated work portion of the book are based upon concepts learned in the Guide to Health Claims Examining (i.e., procedures for processing claims, interpretation of contracts, understanding UCR and deductibles, etc.). This book alone should not be considered a complete text for learning health claims examining. It is suggested that a trainee take a complete health claims examining course prior to using this book. The simulated work portion of this text incorporates concepts which are not taught by simple data entry, for example UCR calculations, privacy guidelines, client record keeping, correspondence, and manual completion of claims processing. This text is designed to allow the student to work through the material at their own pace.
