Medical Coder

Medical Coders translate clinical documentation from physicians and other healthcare providers into standardized ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS codes used for billing, insurance reimbursement, and health statistics. They review medical records, assign accurate procedure and diagnosis codes, query clinicians for documentation clarification, and ensure compliance with coding guidelines and payer requirements. Coding accuracy directly impacts healthcare revenue cycle performance and compliance with fraud and abuse regulations.
