MIPS (originally an acronym for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by MIPS Technologies (formerly MIPS Computer Systems, Inc).

The early MIPS architectures were 32-bit, with 64-bit versions added later.

Multiple revisions of the MIPS instruction set exist, including MIPS I, MIPS II, MIPS III, MIPS IV, MIPS V, MIPS32, and MIPS64.

The current revisions are MIPS32 (for 32-bit implementations) and MIPS64 (for 64-bit implementations).

MIPS32 and MIPS64 define a control register set as well as the instruction set.

Medical billing is a payment practice within the United States health system.

The process involves a healthcare provider submitting, and following up on, claims with health insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered; such as treatments and investigations.

The same process is used for most insurance companies, whether they are private companies or government sponsored programs: Medical coding reports what the diagnosis and treatment were, and prices are applied accordingly.

Medical billers are encouraged, but not required by law, to become certified by taking an exam such as the CMRS Exam, RHIA Exam and others.

Certification schools are intended to provide a theoretical grounding for students entering the medical billing field.

Some community colleges in the United States offer certificates, or even associate degrees, in the field.

Those seeking advancement may be cross-trained in medical coding or transcription or auditing, and may earn a bachelor's or graduate degree in medical information science and technology.

Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), commonly called the Permanent Doc Fix, is a law that establishes a new way to pay doctors who treat Medicare patients, revising the Balanced Budget Act of 1997.

It changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed, fills in a funding gap and extends a popular children's insurance program, CHIP.

An electronic health record (EHR), or electronic medical record (EMR), refers to the systematized collection of patient and population electronically-stored health information in a digital format.

These records can be shared across different health care settings.

Records are shared through network-connected, enterprise-wide information systems or other information networks and exchanges.

EHRs may include a range of data, including demographics, medical history, medication and allergies, immunization status, laboratory test results, radiology images, vital signs, personal statistics like age and weight, and billing information.
