MEDICAL CODING.
Medical Coding is the conversion of a patient's healthcare diagnosis, prescriptions, treatment received, equipment used by a healthcare professional or a doctor into alphanumeric codes. These codes are later billed to insurance companies to claim insurance for payment purposes. This is known as Medical Billing process. These codes must be so accurate as they make up the whole payment purposes.
Medical Coders use a set of assigned codes for coding purpose. These are mainly, ICD, CPT and HCPCS. ICD Codes (International Classification of Diseases) are the medical coding system used to classify and report medical diagnoses and procedures. They are used by hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies to document and categorize different medical diagnoses, treatments, and health care procedures. For instance ICD 10 CM Code M54.9 denotes Dorsalgia.
Dorsalgia is a term used to describe pain in the back or spine. It is usually caused by underlying conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, herniated discs, scoliosis, and osteoporosis. Treatment for Dorsalgia typically involves physical therapy, pain medications, and lifestyle changes.
