Medical billing and coding experts are individuals who review medical billing and coding to ensure claims submitted for payment by the provider are usual, customary, and reasonable (UCR). Oftentimes, these specialized experts are hired by the client to offer an opposing viewpoint to the original billing affidavit by signing a counter affidavit. Juris Medicus was tasked with identifying and vetting a medical billing and coding expert who could provide a counter-affidavit in a personal injury case.
