MEDICAL CODING.
Medical Coding is the conversion of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, treatment received, prescriptions and other details of a patient into alphanumeric codes. These codes are later billed to insurance companies to claim insurance for payment purposes. The codes generated must be accurate as they make up the whole claim.
In order to communicate diseases, symptoms, abnormal findings, and other components of a patient's diagnosis in a manner that is widely recognised by people in the medical and insurance industries, healthcare professionals use the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. For instance ICD code L40.o denotes plaque psoriasis.
Plaque psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. The patches may be itchy, painful, and can sometimes crack and bleed. It is most commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back, but can occur anywhere on the body.
