Medical biller resume template
Short answer
Leslie suits a medical biller: it prints experience before skills, so claim volume, denial work and A/R results lead the page, and its single blue accent stays businesslike. The fictional sample bills for a 30-provider orthopedic group, cut its share of A/R over 90 days and holds AAPC's Certified Professional Biller credential, named in the headline because certifications print near the end. She started at a clinic front desk verifying insurance.

Why Leslie suits a medical biller resume
Leslie prints work experience ahead of skills, which suits a biller judged on revenue cycle results: claims per week, denial rate, the share of A/R past 90 days, collections. The centred blue header and short underlines look tidy without a colour block, and the labelled skill rows keep billing tasks apart from the practice management system and clearinghouse.
Second choice: Meridian. Meridian puts skills above experience, worth it when a posting screens first for a named practice management system or clearinghouse.
What goes in each section, in Leslie's order
Leslie prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Professional Summary. Provider type and size, payer mix and the part of the revenue cycle you own: charge entry, claims, denials, A/R follow-up, payment posting, patient balances. Add your billing credential.
- Work Experience. The measures billing managers track: claims per week, clean claim rate, denial rate, A/R over 90 days, collections. Pair each figure with the method behind it, such as working accounts oldest first or building appeal templates.
- Skills. Billing tasks on one row (claims, denials, appeals, posting, eligibility checks) and systems on another: practice management or EHR billing module, clearinghouse, payer portals, Excel. Leslie prints these rows after the jobs.
- Education. Billing and coding certificate, associate degree or diploma, with the year.
- Certifications. A billing credential such as AAPC's CPB, with the year. It prints near the end in Leslie, so the headline names it too.

Show your denial work
Name the top denial reasons you fixed and how: front-end eligibility checks, coding queries, appeal templates.
Keep patient data out

For remote billing roles
Mention the systems you used through a VPN or web portal and the productivity targets you met from home.
Biller and coder roles
If you also code, add the code sets and a coding credential. If you do not, avoid wording that implies it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a medical biller and a medical coder resume?
A coder assigns diagnosis and procedure codes from the record; a biller turns them into claims and follows the money through payment, denials and patient balances. Billing resumes lead with claims, denials and A/R; coding resumes lead with code sets, specialties and audit accuracy.
Which billing metrics should I put on my resume?
The ones your office tracks: clean claim rate, denial rate, A/R over 90 days, days in A/R, collections. Give a before and after figure and the time it took.
Is the CPB credential worth getting?
It is a way to show billing knowledge on paper. AAPC says the CPB covers claim submission for commercial payers, Medicare and Medicaid, denials and appeals, payment posting and compliance. If you hold it, list it with the year.
How do I get into medical billing from a front desk job?
Use the front-end work you already do: eligibility checks, copays, demographics, referrals. Those prevent denials, so describe them as part of the revenue cycle.
Should I mention HIPAA on a billing resume?
A short line that you handle protected health information under your employer's policies is enough. The bullets themselves should never contain patient details.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Leslie PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 8 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
