Overview :
Medical Coding is the process of converting patient health information into alphanumeric codes. Coders take medical reports from doctors, which may include a patient's condition, the doctor's diagnosis, prescriptions, and procedures performed by healthcare providers, and convert this information into codes. These codes form a crucial part of the medical claim process.
