Can you give detail on what type of training is required for FHQC billing, like what the qualifications are, type of computer experience (ie, data entry, etc)

Q&A FQHC Billing
- Thread starter Lisa Colbert
- Start date
Hi there...I have actually been working at an FQHC for 3 years...the nonprofit world is COMPLETELY different than forprofit..I had previously worked for a major hospital as a coder...like all nonprofits they are short for cash...that means you are likely to find antiquated technology AND salaries. ...in my situation we are the billing dept. responsible for 7 satellite clinics...if I were to think of anything that would be helpful regarding "training" I would suggest becoming very familiar with Medicare and Medicaid. ..and all of the Expansion (MCO's) programs in your state..where I live that means Passport,HumanaCaresource,Coventry cares and Wellcare of Kentucky. ..Keep in mind all of those programs use different modifiers and state run programs...if you would like to contact me privately I will send you my email...

Thanks for your reply....There is a company where I live that specializes in FHQC billing and I know they way need good computer skills. I know word and excel but have some data entry from long ago. I appreciate your response and if you want to send me your email, that would be great. I will check into the MCOs in my area (Daytona Beach FL)
