SATHYAVANI INFOTECH : Medical Coding / Billing

Medical Coding / Billing:

Medical Coding is converting a diagnosis or symptoms, procedures, and drugs into codes and Medical billing is billing insurance companies and patients for procedures and office visits. Their work is submitted to insurance companies for payment purposes, data collection, research, billing and quality improvement purposes.

Coders and Billers play an important role in the financial success of private practices and other health care facilities. The greater the expertise of the Medical Coder in identifying relevant diagnoses for patient encounters, the greater the insurance reimbursement to the physician this field generates medical coders who specialize in coding after a thorough training program and a certification process. The American academy of professional coders (www.aapc.com) and American Health Information Management Association (www.ahima.org) offers certification.

Certified Coders are in high demand throughout the healthcare industry. In fact, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Health care is the largest U.S. industry, making this career a sound choice and healthcare support professionals, including Medical Coders, are one of the 10 fastest-growing allied health occupations, and, studies show that Certified Coders are paid accordingly for their exceptional medical coding skills.

MEDICAL CODING:
MEANING:
Analyzing clinical statements and transforming verbal description of diseases, injuries, conditions, and procedures into numerical designation is called CODING. The purpose of this process is financial reimbursement. Hence this is also called as “Insurance coding.”

This is designed by WHO for the classification of morbidity and mortality information, for statistical purpose, for indexing of hospital records by diseases and operations, for data storage and retrieval. It also provides access for epidemiological studies. This field generates Medical Coders who specialize in training program and a certification process. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) offer certification in this field.

A Clinical coder or Diagnostic coder is the one who analyzes clinical statements and assigns codes from a clinical classification.

To describe a clinical picture of the patient, the code should be more precise than those needed only for statistical groupings. So the coder should have the knowledge of medical terminology.

The development of the required skills takes both formative and summative training alongside experience.
