WHAT IS MEDICAL CODING ?

Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. This helps summarize otherwise cumbersome medical reports into efficient, data-friendly codes. While complex and detail-driven, medical coding really comes down to knowing how to navigate the three main code sets: CPT, ICD, and HCPCS. These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition. We’ll train you to recognize how code set is organized and how each should be used.
Medical coding jobs involve a great deal of reading, analysis, and document processing. After each patient visit, medical coders review documents such as lab results, prescriptions, and transcriptions of physician notes to verify their completeness. They may ask clinicians to clarify inconsistent information or fill in missing details on a patient’s medical records.
A certified professional coder then uses their knowledge of medical terminology to decide which information meets medical coding standards. They translate a patient’s medical records into billable, industry-recognized alphanumeric codes, including information about diagnoses, treatments, procedures, and complications. These codes are compiled in a claim which is then sent to the medical biller for review.
Coders may conduct additional research and patient data analysis for reimbursement from health insurance companies. They also support compliance efforts by staying up to date on government regulations and standards, and by regularly auditing medical records.
