MEDICAL CODING
The process of assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures in medical records and papers is known as medical coding. Medical coders issue codes that are used for reimbursement, recording medical data, and research using classification systems such as ICD-10 and CPT. Medical coders examine patient medical data to identify diagnoses and procedures, after which they assign the relevant codes. The codes are then utilized for insurance billing, disease and injury trend tracking, research, and statistical analysis.
A medical coder should have specific competencies, which include:
1. Understanding of medical language and coding systems including ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS
2. Detail-orientedness
3. Ability to assess medical records
4. Excellent organizational and time management abilities
5. Computer skills, especially knowledge of coding software
6. Ability to work alone as well as part of a team
7. Understanding of medical billing processes and rules
8. Excellent interpersonal and communication abilities
9. The ability to protect patient confidentiality
