About this glossary
Billing has a language of its own, and a single misunderstood term can be the difference between a clean claim and a denial. These short, practical definitions are written for the front desk, providers, and practice managers — not for coders alone.
Every entry explains the term in plain English and connects it back to what actually affects your revenue.

From eligibility and coding to denials and follow-up, EnVisionMD RCM manages the revenue cycle so your team can focus on patients.
