Clearing House
What is Clearing House?
In medical billing, companies that function as intermediaries who forward medical claims information from healthcare providers to insurance payers are known as clearinghouses. In what is called claims scrubbing, clearinghouses check the claim for errors and verify that it is compatible with the payer software.

Medical billing clearinghouse services are designed to automate the revenue cycle process for healthcare providers. Among those services are clearinghouses that help you make the switch from paper, generating electronic claims for a cleaner, easier process. Simply put, claims that are sent electronically are paid much faster than paper claims. Claim errors are reduced to 2-3%, compared to paper claims error rate 28%.
