What is Medical Coding?
Medical Coding is a bit like translation. Coders take medical reports from doctors which may include a patient’s condition, the doctor’s diagnosis, a prescription, and whatever procedures the doctor or healthcare provider performed on the patient, and turn that into a make to makes crucial part of medical claims. This claim is submitted to Insurance companies for payment.
Coders play an important role when it comes to payments from third party payers. Payers look at the codes assigned and understand the services provided to the patient who is covered under their insurance.
