What is Medical Coding?
Medical coding is the process of converting information from medical records, such as diagnoses, procedures, treatments, and healthcare services, into standardised codes. These codes help healthcare providers, insurers, and other organisations maintain accurate records, process claims, support billing, and meet documentation and compliance requirements. Medical coders review clinical documentation, identify the relevant diagnoses and services, and assign the appropriate codes using systems such as ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS.
