The NLP method uses software to learn from clinical language to extract codes. Accurate coding is essential to ensure healthcare providers are reimbursed for their services. Medical coding is the process of converting written diagnoses and treatment descriptions into codes that insurance companies can quickly analyze and review. For example, if a healthcare provider performs a tonsillectomy, a corresponding CPT code would be used to accurately bill the insurance provider for the services rendered. Medical coding involves translating complex healthcare procedures and services into universally accepted alphanumeric codes using specialized software. Medical billing, on the other hand, is the process of submitting claims containing these codes to insurance companies or government-run insurance programs to receive payment for the healthcare services provided. Doctors, dentists, and veterinarians are able to be compensated for their services because to a critical mechanism in healthcare. Professionals in the medical field utilize the Superbill approach to keep track of diagnoses, treatments, and procedures so that they can be quickly coded in the future.
