Payment Posting Mastery In Medical Billing and RCM

This course is designed to help learners of all backgrounds understand and apply payment posting in medical billing and revenue cycle management (RCM) in real-world healthcare settings. Whether you’re working in medical coding, billing, administration, nursing, Healthcare IT, or finance, this course emphasizes HIPAA, HITECH, Business Associate Agreements (BAA), data protection, data safety, insurance rules, and compliance—and turns them into practical skills for ERAs/EOBs, allowables, underpayment detection, denials, refunds, and GL reconciliation within an integrated RCM workflow.

You’ll learn how posted payments connect to contracts and payer policies—how to read 835 ERA files, interpret CARC/RARC codes, and translate them into accurate adjustments and transfers. You’ll also master handling COB/MSP situations, patient responsibility, refunds/recoupments, and month-end processes that tie to the general ledger, with clear documentation to support auditors and compliance (HIPAA/HITECH, BAA). The course includes payer-type nuances, automation opportunities, and analytics for spotting trends that accelerate collections.

Designed to be beginner-friendly, this course offers clear explanations, interactive exercises, and realistic examples from EHR/PM systems, ERAs/EOBs, bank deposits, and billing documentation to help reinforce learning. No prior medical knowledge is needed.
