Medical Coding

Medical Coding is the process of translating healthcare services, diagnoses, and procedures into standardized codes used for billing and record-keeping. These codes ensure accurate documentation, help healthcare providers receive proper reimbursement, and maintain patient health records efficiently. This includes codifying the medical record into universal medical alphanumeric characters (International Classification of Diseases Vol 10 {ICD-10} and Current Procedural Terminology Vol 4 {CPT-4} codes).
