Capture Billing and Consulting, Inc., a medical billing and coding company, would like to help keep healthcare professionals informed and up to date on the latest coding and billing specifications and regulations. With its release of the "Medical Billing Minute" video, Capture Billing hopes to educate physicians on how to code for the H1N1 Swine Flu Vaccine.

The H1N1 virus and resulting epidemic is currently one of our nation's top health concerns. With the growing number of confirmed cases, health care providers are facing many challenges with a record number of sick visits plus the required complex medical billing associated with these visits.

"This is the first in a series of one minute videos addressing various coding procedures and challenges that physicians are faced with daily," states Manny Oliverez, CEO of Capture Billing. "We want to produce these videos to make these complex issues simple."

The current "Medical Billing Minute" focuses on the coding specifications required by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid for billing out the administration of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. Although the actual vaccine is not billable, the video clearly explains what can be billed and what healthcare professionals can expect to be reimbursed.

The series of free videos to follow the current "Medical Billing Minute" are designed to inform providers of current medical coding and billing information. In addition to general medical billing procedures and coding updates some specific topics to be covered are Red Flag Rules, HIPAA compliance and auditing, along with other government regulations.

As a medical billing and consulting firm Capture Billing believes that proper education and up to date training in the complex field of medical billing and coding is not only important for their team, but it is a must for physicians and their staff.
