Bill Reviewer

Bill reviewers are responsible for approving or denying medical billing claims. They do so after first checking for errors in medical coding or inconsistencies in a patient’s diagnosis and what they are being billed for. If a bill reviewer notices an issue within a billing statement, they may either perform a correction, request further information from a physician or third-party provider, or deny the claim altogether. 

A bill reviewer’s job is important because it prevents patients from over or underpaying on services and it promotes better patient care by identifying and addressing issues in medical reporting.
