Medical Billing and Coding

What Medical Coders and Medical Billers do?

When a patient visits a hospital and tells his problem, the nurse performs the necessary tests and the doctor examines those tests. After that he prescribes medication. Everything about the patient is put in record by the Doctor himself or the Medical administration.

The Medical Coder translates that record into alphanumeric code, which then, will be used in Medical Billing process. The medical biller translates that code into a financial slip.

In coding you will learn to translate the medical procedures into codes while in billing you will learn to convert the Medical codes into a financial report. In short, the Medical Billing and Coding job is like a bridge between the doctor and the patients that acts as a translator between them.
