How do you do adjustments for medical billing?

Adjustments in medical billing are made to correct discrepancies between the billed amount and the payment received from insurers or patients. This typically involves reviewing the explanation of benefits (EOB) to identify reasons for underpayment or denial, such as coding errors, contractual adjustments, or patient responsibility. After identifying the necessary adjustments, billers update the patient's account accordingly and may communicate with insurers or patients to resolve any outstanding issues. Accurate documentation of these adjustments is essential for record-keeping and compliance.
