Medical Coding

Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment’s utilization into universal medical alphanumeric codes. The diagnoses and procedure codes are taken from medical report documentation, such as transcription of physician's notes, laboratory and radiologic results, etc. Medical coding professionals ensure the codes are utilized correctly all through the medical billing process, which consists of abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and making a claim to be paid by insurance companies.
