What is Medical Coding? Medical coding professionals provide a key step in the medical billing process. Every time a patient receives professional health care in a physician’s office, hospital outpatient facility or ambulatory surgical center (ASC), the provider must document the services provided.

Prepare for certification and a career in medical coding Validate your knowledge, skills, and expertise with medical coding certification Is Medical Coding the same as Medical Billing? No. While the medical coder and medical biller may be the same person or may work closely together to make sure all invoices are paid properly, the medical coder is primarily responsible for abstracting and assigning the appropriate coding on the claims. In order to accomplish this, the coder checks a variety of sources within the patient’s medical record, (i.e. the transcription of the doctor’s notes, ordered laboratory tests, requested imaging studies and other sources) to verify the work that was done. Then the coder must assign CPT® codes, ICD-9 codes and HCPCS codes to both report the procedures that were performed and to provide the medical biller with the information necessary to process a claim for reimbursement by the appropriate insurance agency.

  • Options for HIV Billing
    Options for HIV Third-Party Billing Services Antonio O. Arias, MBA, CHBME Provider Advocate NCG Medical, Inc. November 30, 2018 Options for Third-Party Billing of HIV Services Executive Summary Medical billing is a complicated task for many medical practices, but for some Local Health Departments (LHD), Community-Based Organizations (CBO), and other Healthcare Providers (HCP) specializing in HIV service provision, the complicated nature of medical billing has impeded the formation of any billing capacity. Changing this trend will allow these organizations to address ways to increase their revenue and their stability, so that they can continue improving public health through the services they provide. Third-party billing refers to billing Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance for medical services provided, as opposed to first-party billing which refers to charging patients. There are many challenging components to the medical billing process that may deter organizations from prioritizing billing.
