What is medical billing and coding? Medical coding is the process of assigning a code to a medical diagnosis, treatment or service. Healthcare documentation is uniform thanks to the medical billing and coding process. There are several different types of codes used in medical coding, including ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes. To choose codes from a preexisting list of codes, utilize the point-and-click method. On the other side, medical billing is the process of sending these codes to insurance providers in order to obtain the right kind of reimbursement. Coding in medical billing enables healthcare providers to communicate and bill for services provided efficiently. Topographical coding is specific to anatomical coding, whereas alphabetical coding refers to a specific list of procedures and diagnoses. Consistency in coding ensures that medical claims are processed in a uniform manner across different healthcare settings.
