Why is Pediatric Billing Different from Adult Billing?
Pediatric billing differs from adult billing in several ways. Firstly, children often require preventive care, vaccinations, and growth monitoring, which can involve frequent visits. Secondly, billing must often accommodate a variety of insurance plans, including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Finally, the billing process must consider the involvement of parents or guardians, which can add another layer of complexity.
