What is this about?

It is more important that you know how to bill, rather than just what to bill. We strongly encourage you to spend the time learning how to bill correctly before launching into this course, some of which may not make complete sense without the background learning.

This course is designed to follow on from the courses in the medical billing essentials pack, and we suggest you undertake those courses before this one.

Upon completion of this course you will be able to bill with more confidence in the outpatient setting including understanding the legal requirements for what must be included on your medical bills and gaining insights into the intricacies of who can legally bill patients presenting to public hospital outpatient departments.
