medical coding billing

In this blog post, we'll look at the fundamentals of medical coding and how it's applied to billing. Medical coding is the act of converting diagnoses, treatments, and healthcare services into alphanumeric codes, and billing is the process of submitting such codes to insurance providers or publicly funded insurance programs for reimbursement. There are several different types of codes used in medical coding, including ICD (International Classification of Diseases) and CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes. This includes following the HIPAA privacy rules when handling and securing medical records.
