                           BEST MEDICAL CODING INSTITUTES IN KERALA

Medical coding is the process of taking a patient’s health care information like medical procedures, diagnosis, necessary medical equipment, and medical services information from the physician's notes. A medical coder transforms this information into universal medical alphanumeric codes. 

There are generally three types of universally known medical alphanumeric codes: 

• International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 11th revision (ICD-11): The World Health Organization (WHO) created and manages this internationally used code. The classification system is largely used for the purpose of health recording and data collection, among other uses. These codes can classify symptoms, diseases, illnesses, and causes of death. 

• Current Procedural Terminology (CPT): CPT codes identify medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services within the US. The American Medical Association (AMA) developed this system, which breaks it down into three categories: procedures and contemporary medical practices, clinical labs, and emerging technologies. 

• Healthcare Common Procedure Coding (HCPCS): The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed this coding system intended to help with the processing of insurance claims processed through Medicare or other providers. Coders use them to note medical procedures, products, supplies, and services. 

Medical coding's primary use is to ensure medical billing and insurance carriers pay and process claims correctly, but the system is also valuable for research purposes and basic medical record-keeping for patients.

Each code tells insurance companies, researchers, or other physicians in health care, the exact diagnosis, procedure, and/or medical service provided. In short, these codes act as a universal way to quantify health care visits and make physician’s notes less abstract for insurance carriers and anyone who has access to your medical records.
