What is Medical Coding?
Medical coding is the process of turning healthcare diagnoses, treatments, services, and equipment into universal alphanumeric codes for medical billing. Medical coders look at medical records, doctor’s notes, lab results, and other documents to assign the correct codes and create a claim to send to insurance companies.
Medical coding helps healthcare providers get paid quickly and keep their finances healthy. It also helps doctors and hospitals track a patient’s condition and treatments, so they can make better decisions during future visits.
