What is Medical Coding?
In
medical coding, information about patient diagnosis, checkup details, procedures, symptoms,
medications, clinical statements, healthcare services and equipment are transformed into
alphanumeric codes. These codes are taken from medical
transcription of doctor's speech, notes, radiologic results,
laboratory etc.
Medical Coding Process Flow
- Collecting patient information : Secure accessing of charts from information management systems.
- Pre-coding : Coders code the procedure, diagnostic details etc.
- ICD and CPT coding : Coding have mainly 2 parts, procedural and diagnostic. ICD for diagnostic and CPT for procedural. Medical coders check the compatibility of diagnostic and procedural codes.
- Quality check : First of all quality is checked by quality experts. Then the coded files will forward to clients for quality check.
- Client feedback : According to client feedback, coding team will work for 100% client satisfaction.
3 Types of Medical Codes :
- ICD (International Classification of Diseases)
- CPT (Current Procedure Terminology)
- HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System)
1. ICD
(International Classification of Diseases)
ICD is a standard
diagnostic tool. ICD-9-CM is
a set of HIPAA transaction codes used to indicate patient diagnosis details by doctors, hospitals, and other health
workers. ICD-10-CM is a
revision of the ICD-9-CM. Which is used to code
all diagnosis, symptoms, procedures etc.
2. CPT
(Current Procedure Terminology)
CPT code set is published, maintained, annually updated and copyrighted by American Medical Association (AMA). It is used to code the medical procedures.

procedures, and equipment not covered by CPT codes.

insurance claim in order to get payment from insurance companies for
