Instead of working as an employee, contractors work independently with various clients, setting their own schedules and managing their workload.

Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, medical billing software, and payer portals is essential for processing claims efficiently. Strong self-motivation, attention to detail, and effective time management set high performers apart in this independent role. These competencies ensure accurate claims processing, prompt reimbursement, and effective client relationships in a remote or self-managed setting.

What does an independent contractor medical billing & coding do?
