About this ebook
Medical Insurance: A Revenue Cycle Process Approach (2026 EverGreen Release) by Joanne Valerius and Nenna L. Bayes is a comprehensive educational textbook published by McGraw Hill. It is designed to teach medical billing, coding, and administrative health professionals how to navigate healthcare financial systems. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Core Focus: The 10-Step Revenue Cycle
The book revolves around a 10-step Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) model that teaches students how to "follow the money" in a healthcare facility. This structured framework ensures that medical practices capture, manage, and collect appropriate reimbursement for patient services. [1, 2, 3]
The primary stages taught throughout the chapters include: [1, 2]
  • Preregistering patients and scheduling appointments.
  • Establishing financial responsibility and verifying insurance eligibility.
  • Checking in patients and ensuring clinical documentation accuracy.
  • Medical coding compliance (ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II).
  • Reviewing billing compliance before claim transmission.
  • Checking out patients and collecting co-pays.
  • Preparing and transmitting electronic claims (like the CMS-1500).
  • Monitoring payer adjudication and handling claim denials.
  • Generating patient statements and managing collections.
  • Post-payment posting and final accounts receivable cleanup. [1, 2]
