2. What is Medical Coding
(+971) 56 406 5483 ridhima@transfedu.com
Medical Coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis,
procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical
alphanumeric codes.
Medical coders assign standard codes using CPT, ICD 10 & HCPCS
Classification system.
Accurate medical coding is essential to the healthcare industry. It is
how claims for payment are reported for appropriate reimbursement
of provided medically necessary services.
In practice, medical coding is primarily used to file healthcare claims,
but the data contained in these claims has further uses for accurate
diagnosis and procedure codes, long after individual claims are paid.
