MEDICAL CODING

Importance of Medical Coding Services

Medical coding has become one of the most critical facets of the healthcare industry over the years.  This niche involves transforming medical procedures, services, diagnoses, and equipment into universal, alphanumeric ICD, CPT, PCS and HCPCS codes. ICD codes describe illness, injury, or death. CPT and PCS codes deal with surgeries, radiology, measurement procedures, anesthesia, etc. HCPCS codes highlight outpatient hospital care and medical aid. Coders assign relevant codes to the items so that accurate claims can go to the insurance companies. The goal is to ensure not just seamless reimbursement but quality healthcare in future visits.
