Medical Coding Services
Medical coding is the process of application of universal alphanumeric codes to the healthcare services rendered i.e., medical diagnosis, procedures, services, and equipment provided. A patient’s medical record i.e., documents such as physician’s notes, laboratory reports, and services lists, are used by a medical coder to ascribe the diagnosis and procedure codes. The process of medical coding involves abstraction of the medical information from the available documentation, assigning the right diagnosis & procedure codes, and enabling the process of creation of a claim to be submitted to payers.
​
Payers can understand the following information from the standardized codes:
​
-
Patient diagnosis
-
Medical necessity for treatments, services, or supplies the patient received
Accurate Medical Coding can reduce Claim Denials.
High-quality medical coding is critical for accurate reimbursements. Medical Coding errors can be costly and result in claim denials, besides creating unwarranted compliance issues, which could be even more expensive.
