What is Medical Coding? 

Simply put, medical coding is analyzing information in a medical record and translating it into medical codes based on various coding classifications systems, such as, ICD-10-CM for diagnosis, CPT for procedures and services, and HCPCS Level II for drugs, supplies, etc., using official coding guidelines, government and payer specific guidelines.

Many healthcare organizations require medical coders to be "certified" due to the various healthcare reimbursement laws, regulations and guidelines surrounding medical coding.  To ensure appropriate reimbursement for services provided, complete and accurate coding is essential.
