MEDICAL CODING.
Medical Coding is the transformation of a patient's healthcare process including diagnosis, treatment received, equipment used, prescriptions and any other findings into universally accepted alphanumeric codes. These codes are later billed to insurance companies to claim insurance for payment purposes. These codes must be accurate as they make up the whole payment claim.
There three types of codes, mainly, ICD, CPT and HCPCS. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) are set of diagnostic codes set by World Health Organisation (WHO). They contains signs and symptoms or any other abnormal findings on a patient.
CPT codes (Current Procedural Terminology codes) are five-digit numeric codes used to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and procedures performed by healthcare providers. They are maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA) and are used by insurance companies, healthcare providers, and government agencies to process payments for health care services.
HCPCS stands for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System. It is a medical coding system used to classify medical procedures, medical equipment, and medical supplies. HCPCS codes are used to
bill insurance companies and Medicare for medical services.
