Medical Coding is the process of translating medical diagnoses, procedures, services, and equipment documented by healthcare providers into standardized codes. These codes, including ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II, are used for accurate billing, insurance claims, reimbursement, medical recordkeeping, and healthcare data reporting. Medical coders review patient documentation to ensure coding accuracy, compliance with regulations, and proper reimbursement while maintaining patient confidentiality.
