Additionally, health care providers consult with medical billing companies for advice regarding reimbursement matters, as well as overall business decision-making; and
WHEREAS, Medical Billers strive to provide a high level of ethical, lawful and professional conduct throughout the entire health care industry; and
WHEREAS, Medical Billers offer expertise in carrier reimbursement requirements, help ensure that medical claims are accurately prepared to free physicians and other practitioners to devote their energies to the care of their patients; and
WHEREAS, Medical Billers continue to influence the medical billing process in a positive and credible manner and should be recognized for their efforts and their loyalty to the Medical Billing Profession.
Now, therefore, being a member of the Michigan Medical Biller's Association and the American Medical Billing Association (AMBA) and a resident of the state of Michigan, I ask that you hereby proclaim Thursday, March 30, 2023, as National Medical Biller's Day.
