What would be a positive response to this class post? Processing medical bills requires calculations of services. Fees are also included within or alongside of each service. Most software programs calculate this service. Due to the increase of charges related to Emergency visits some patients often request a payment plan. The payment plan options will not always be what the system is suggesting. Let's say the system will give you a breakdown of 20% of the due date, but the customer is only able to pay 5%. Your math skills will come in handy on how to calculate this and give the patient a breakdown of the balance. You can also use your math skills to assist them with a monthly amount after the 5% payment they paid. Double checking the system's work may seem tedious. However, it is sometimes necessary as software does crash and is sometimes unavailable. Whether then to have them call back when its up you should be able to calculate this math on your own.
