What is Medical Coding?
Medical coding involves translating healthcare services, procedures, and diagnoses into standardized codes used for billing and record-keeping. It differs from medical billing, which focuses on submitting and following up on insurance claims. While medical coding ensures accurate documentation of patient care, medical billing handles the financial aspect.
At Coding Clarified, we specialize in medical coding and do not offer training in medical billing.
