In coding you take the patient medical record that has been transcribed by a medical transcriptionist and then the coder applies alphanumeric codes to the diagnosis, procedures, and supplies according to the corresponding reference manuals. Then, that coded record, goes to the biller to be billed to an insurance company for payment.
