Obamacare Effect on Medical Billing

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is in effect. Under this Act, all people who do not have their own healthcare insurance are required to be enrolled in the plan. While there are a lot of diverse opinions on Obamacare and whether or not it will be effective, there’s no denying, no matter how you feel about the Act personally, that it’s going to mean some changes in how medical billing services operate and how medical billing is handled in the first place.

To begin with, Obamacare means that more people than ever are eligible to receive healthcare, people who never would have sought it before. More people receiving healthcare means more billing, which could lead to an increased need for and reliance on medical billing services, and that’s just one of many changes brought about by the Act.


If you want to attempt to handle the increased workload on your own, you may want to consider using an app designed to make billing easier and more efficient. You can find a great, user-friendly app to do just that at DeductorMD.com.


If you are a healthcare clinician, are you using todays new healthcare app for Medical Decision Making, DeductorMD?
