After preparing such report, he will submit it to the concerned insurance companies in order to get payments.
Now the relative insurance company will review the claim. The staff of the insurance company will study medical claims and will decide whether to approve it or not. Approved claims are paid back/reimbursed. Disapproved claims are treated as rejected and Medicare provider will be informed about it.
