About the course

Medical coding holds a crucial place in RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) which deals with the settlement of insurance claims in developed countries. Medical coding involves the conversion of healthcare diagnoses, medical services and equipment into universally accepted medical alpha-numeric codes. These codes are defined by World Health Organization (WHO). These diagnostic and procedure codes are taken from various medical records namely physician notes, laboratory/radiology results. The main job of a medical coder (or clinical coder) is to analyse the medical records/laboratory results, radiology results etc. and assign codes based on standard classification.
