Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): Billing & Payments

Billing & payments form an integral part of the modern healthcare system. These are methods used in healthcare organizations to compensate healthcare providers for their services. Billing & payments are made by a biller who collects all patient information (including the patient’s procedure) and generates a bill for the insurance company. Such type of billing is called a claim. Claims contain important patient information like patient demographics, a medical procedure performed, insurance coverage, etc.
