How does science relates to medical billing and coding?

Medical billing is the process of submitting a healthcare claim to a health insurance company for the purpose of getting paid for medical service provided by a healthcare provider. Coding is a five digit nurmeric code that is assigned to a medical claim to identify a surgical procedure performed on the human body. For example, Code 40490 is a biopsy of lip. The doctor takes a sample of the growth and sends it to a pathologist (a person who specializes in the study of diseases) to perform test to determine if this could be some form of cancer. In orders for the doctors to get paid for their services, a medical claim must be submitted to the patient's insurance company. Science relates more so to coding than to billing. You have to code first before you can medical bill. Anatomy and Physiology is the study of the human body. It is a science. Anatomy is the structure of the human body. Physiology is how the human body functions. In order to code, you have to know the science. In order to medical bill, you have to know the code.
