I am wondering what other kinds of medical office jobs other than coding, auditing, claims denial work or compliance would qualify toward the removal of one’s apprenticeship status. In my case, one job I had was to attach correspondence and documents to patient accounts. For things like authorization letters, I would often have to look through a patient’s encounters to match up the ICD or CPT codes on the letter to figure out which account the document should be attached to. After a couple years, I became a Patient Account Specialist focusing on posting provider-level PLBs, recoups, refunds and other adjustments. For this, my daily work involved posting adjustments to specific CPT and HCPCS codes on invoices.
Would either of those roles qualify for the removal of my A?
If not, I would love any suggestions on what role I could work towards which would qualify. Maybe regulatory audits? Insurance follow-up? I have tried to get into coding with my company but they are a very large organization which outsources its coding work. All my efforts to find a way in or even a mentor have hit a brick wall. Thus, I am looking into alternatives which would use my coding training, even indirectly.
