Medical coding is the process of transforming healthcare services such as diagnoses, procedures, or other medical services into alphanumeric codes. When a medical coder reviews medical records, they are reviewing key documentation that the healthcare provider (physician, nurse practitioner etc.) has documented about the patient’s condition and care. The medical code is then presented on a claim to request payment from a payer. Medical coding is an essential component of the Healthcare’s revenue stream and without its Healthcare workers and providers would not be paid, never would patients receive care. It is critical that the Healthcare System have medical coding professionals who are skilled at applying codes correctly. This can only be done by utilizing guidelines appropriately. Without proper training a medical coder cannot be successful in performing this essential need.
