- brendanyounger 3y agoMedical billing is a dreary business. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/CodingAndBilling/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CodingAndBilling/. It's not clear that anyone is _trying_ to build an empire out of this. More likely, they're trying to build a bigger trash heap to climb on top of.
- nradov 3y agoNo one got a promotion out of it. The USA adopted the WHO ICD code system for diagnoses on billing claims because it was good enough, and much easier than defining a whole new code system. Some of the codes are never used, but so what.
