What is Medical Coding?
Medical coding is the process of translating medical diagnoses, procedures, and services into numeric and alphanumeric codes. These codes are used by insurance companies and healthcare providers to process claims and track patient care. It’s essential to remember that medical coding is different from medical billing.
By streamlining the billing process, reducing errors, and increasing efficiency, medical coders in Oregon play a critical role in the financial health of healthcare organizations.
