Medical Coding: Introduction
Medical coding is the process of assigning codes to medical diagnoses, procedures, and services to ensure uniformity in medical record-keeping and billing. These codes are used by healthcare providers, insurance companies, and government agencies to accurately track and manage healthcare services and costs.
The coding process involves converting written descriptions of diseases, injuries, and procedures into codes according to standard classification systems such as ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology). Medical coders must have a thorough understanding of anatomy and medical terminology, as well as knowledge of coding guidelines and regulations.
