Frequently asked questions
Medical coding is the process of converting healthcare services—such as diagnoses, procedures, and treatments—into standardized alphanumeric codes. Medical coders review clinical documentation provided by healthcare professionals to accurately assign these codes, which are then used to submit claims for reimbursement.
This process is essential to the healthcare revenue cycle. Without accurate coding, providers would not be properly compensated, and patients might not receive the care they need. Skilled medical coders ensure that codes are applied correctly by following established guidelines. Proper training is critical—without it, coders cannot perform this vital role effectively.
