How to become a medical claims processor?

There are no formal education requirements to become a medical claims processor, but most employers prefer candidates with at least a high school diploma, and many will provide on-the-job training. A medical claims processor works for a health care office or insurance company to ensure the accuracy and validity of a medical claim, so you need to develop a working knowledge of ICD-9 and ICD-10 procedure codes, current procedural terminology (CPT), and insurance verification practices to prepare for a career as a medical claims processor. You may also acquire a different entry-level office position at a health care office, and once you have experience dealing with patients and learning medical terminology, seek medical claims processor positions.
