Medical practices can be silos of duties and job descriptions, but to provide high-quality patient care those silos should be torn down (to a degree) so administrators, billers, nurses and doctors alike can come together and share knowledge. In this podcast we will examine why it is important for everyone in the office to know the basics of medical coding, how that helps produce a quality patient visit and what it means financially for the practice.
