MEDICAL CODING INSTITUTE IN KERALA

Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. This helps summarize otherwise cumbersome medical reports into efficient, data-friendly codes. While complex and detail-driven, medical coding really comes down to knowing how to navigate the three main code sets: CPT, ICD, and HCPCS. These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition. We’ll train you to recognize how code set is organized and how each should be used.

What’s Involved in Medical Coding?

The diagnosis and procedure codes are collected from medical record documentation, including physician’s transcription notes, lab, and radiologic results, et al. Medical coders then ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process. This involves abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and generating a claim to be paid by insurance providers.

A record of a patient’s visit, not only benefits the physician, it’s how they get paid. Medical codes translate the documentation into standardized codes that let payers know things, such as:

• A patient’s diagnosis
• The medical necessity for treatments, services, or supplies the patient was given
• Any abnormal circumstances or medical condition that affected those treatments and services

Medical coders must understand anatomy, physiology, evaluation & management services, the business of medicine, and requirements of the payers to succeed.

How is Medical Coding Done?

A certified medical coder starts by reviewing the previous day’s batch of patient’s notes for review and coding. They also summarize other vital information from the documentation, including physician names, procedure dates, and additional information.

The coder then completes the chart and starts with the next patient’s record. Most coders spend their day reading, taking notes, and assigning codes.
