MEDICAL CODING
HREE TYPES OF CODE
There are three sets of code you’ll use on a daily basis as a medical coder.
ICD
The first of these is the International Classification of Diseases, or ICD codes.
These are diagnostic codes that create a uniform vocabulary for describing the causes of injury, illness and death. This code set was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the late 1940s. It’s been updated several times in the 60-plus years since it’s inception. The number following “ICD” represents which revision of the code is in use.
For example, the code that’s currently in use in the United States is ICD-10-CM. This means it’s the 10th revision of the ICD code. That “-CM” at the end stands for “clinical modification.” So the technical name for this code is the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification. The clinical modification is a set of revisions put in place by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), which is a division of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Studies (CMS).
The Clinical Modification significantly increases the number of codes for diagnoses. This increased scope gives coders much more flexibility and specificity, which is essential for the profession. To give you an idea of how important the clinical modification is, the ICD-10 code, has 14,000 codes. It’s clinical modification, ICD-10-CM, contains over 68,000.
ICD codes are used to represent a doctor’s diagnosis and the patient’s condition. In the billing process, these codes are used to determine medical necessity. Coders must make sure the procedure they are billing for makes sense with the diagnosis given. To return to our strep throat example, if a coder listed a strep throat diagnosis as the medical justification for an x-ray, that claim would likely be rejected.
Medical coding CPC.
AAPC's Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential is the benchmark for medical coding in physician office settings and held by nearly 99,000 coding professionals. CPC's are critical to compliant and profitable medical practices and typically earn 20% more than non-certified coders.
Certified Coding Associate
Coding professionals who hold the CCA credential have demonstrated coding competency across all settings, including hospitals and physician practices. Exhibit a level of commitment, competency, and professional capability that is valued by employers.

Medical coding.
Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. These code sets help coders to document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition.
Medical Billing
The hospital forwards medical claims to our billing team via courier or scanned documents, supported by patient medical records, charge-sheets, insurance verification data, a copy of the insurance card and any other patient information.
Medical Scribe.
A Medical Scribe is a revolutionary concept in modern medicine. A Medical Scribe is essentially a personal assistant to the physician; performing documentation in the EHR, gathering information for the patient's visit, and partnering with the physician to deliver the pinnacle of efficient patient care.
