STUDY MEDICAL CODING IN

Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes. The diagnoses and procedure codes are taken from medical record documentation, such as transcription of physician's notes, laboratory and radiologic results, etc. Medical coding professionals help ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process, which includes abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and creating a claim to be paid by insurance carriers.

Medical coding starts with a patient encounter in a physician’s office, hospital, or other healthcare facility. When a patient encounter occurs, providers detail the visit or service in the patient’s medical record and explain why they delivered specific services, items, or procedures.

Accurate and complete clinical documentation during the patient encounter is critical for medical billing and coding, AHIMA explains. The golden rule of healthcare billing and coding departments is, “Do not code it or bill for it if it’s not documented in the medical record.”

Providers use clinical documentation to justify reimbursements to payers when a conflict with a claim arises. If a provider does not sufficiently document a service in the medical record, the organization could face a claim denial and potentially a write-off.

Providers could also face a healthcare fraud or liability investigation if they attempt to bill payers and patients for services incorrectly documented in the medical record or missing from the patient’s data altogether.

Once a patient leaves the healthcare facility, a professional medical coder reviews and analyzes clinical documentation to connect services with billing codes related to a diagnosis, procedure, charge, and professional and/or facility code.
