Institutional Medical Billing and Revenue Cycle Management gives you a practical, end-to-end path to mastering Institutional Billing, the UB-04 / CMS 1450 form, 837I EDI files, Medicare Part A rules, facility claims workflows, AR calling, payment posting, and denial management for hospitals and facilities. If you’ve been searching for a hands-on guide to compliant, efficient Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) in institutional settings, you’re in the right place.

This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply the processes, forms, data files, and payer rules that drive facility reimbursement. Whether you're working in hospital billing, an ambulatory surgery center, skilled nursing, home health, or hospice, the program builds strong operational fluency in the language and mechanics of institutional RCM — with a focus on practical usage, not academic theory.

You’ll learn how claims move from patient registration through coding, charge capture, scrubbing, submission, remittance, and follow-up; how to complete and validate the UB-04 (CMS 1450); and how to create clean 837I transactions through clearinghouses and payer portals. We’ll also compare Medicare Part A facility rules to professional billing, unpack common denial codes, and practice high-impact AR workflows that accelerate cash.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, job-ready checklists, and realistic examples from claims, remits, reconciliation reports, and payer correspondence to reinforce learning. No prior facility billing experience is required.
