Medical coding is a vital administrative role in healthcare, involving the translation of patient medical data, including diagnoses, treatments, and procedures, into standardized codes such as ICD, CPT, and HCPCS. These codes are essential for accurate billing, insurance reimbursement, and medical research, ensuring that healthcare providers receive payment and that patient records are maintained accurately. Medical coders must have strong attention to detail, knowledge of medical terminology, and proficiency in coding systems to ensure compliance with federal regulations and ethical standards.
