Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes.

The diagnoses and procedures are usually taken from a variety of sources within the health care record, such as the transcription of the physician’s notes, laboratory results, radiologic results, and other sources.

Medical coding professionals help ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process, which includes abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and creating a claim to be paid by insurance carriers.

Medical coding is a little bit like translation. Coders take medical reports from doctors, which may include a patient’s condition, the doctor’s diagnosis, a prescription, and whatever procedures the doctor or healthcare provider performed on the patient, and turn that into a set of codes, which make up a crucial part of the medical claim.
Healthcare industry is a fast growing industry. The demand for Medical Coders is increasing all over the world day by day.
