MEDICAL CODING AND BILLING
The modern health care industry has two closely related aspects: medical billing and coding. In order to guarantee that health care providers are compensated for the services they provide, both practices are a part of the critically important reimbursement cycle. In its most fundamental form, medical coding is comparable to translation. The job of the coder is to accurately translate something that is written one way into a numerical or alphanumeric code, such as a doctor's diagnosis or medication prescription. There is a code that corresponds to each medical procedure, diagnosis, and injury. Diagnoses, out-of-hospital procedures, and medical procedures each have their own unique set of codes. We will discuss which codes correspond to each procedure and which injuries or illnesses they represent.
