You are not only required to abide by codes set by the insurance company, but those codes are enforced by your federal government and state government. Mistakes on your billing can not only cost you money, but you can also run into legal issues. And it’s not just codes that you have to get right. You can not afford any errors.

When you enlist those services, you also will have legal protections to ensure your get the services for which you paid. Elimination of errors is among the reasons you can benefit financially.
