What is Medical Coding?

Medical coding is the process of converting medical diagnoses, procedures, medical supplies, and equipment into universal alphanumeric codes. These codes are used to communicate with insurance companies, healthcare providers, and other healthcare entities. Coders analyze patient medical records to assign codes based on standardized coding systems accurately. It requires a strong understanding of medical terminology and anatomy.

While medical coding focuses on translating medical information into codes, medical billing is the process of submitting and following up on claims for reimbursement of medical services. Billers use the coded information provided by coders to create and submit claims to insurance companies. Please note: Coding Clarified does not offer medical billing training, only coding.
