What is Medical Coding? Medical coding is a specialized profession within the wider field of healthcare administration. Professional medical coders review the documentation contained in patientsâ medical records, then they translate the written documentation into universally accepted, industry-standard medical code.
Medical coding professionals provide a key step in the medical billing process. Every time a patient receives professional health care in a physicianâs office, hospital outpatient facility or ambulatory surgical center (ASC), the provider must document the services provided.n order to accomplish this, the coder checks a variety of sources within the patientâs medical record, (i.e. the transcription of the doctorâs notes, ordered laboratory tests, requested imaging studies and other sources) to verify the work that was done.
