Overview

Medical coding training is a course of study designed to teach individuals how to use coding systems to document medical services and procedures. The training program typically covers topics such as medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, coding systems, medical claims processing, and legal and ethical considerations. The goal of medical coding training is to prepare students to accurately code medical services and procedures so that they can be properly reimbursed by insurance companies.

Topics

This course involves the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes.

  • Medical Terminology
  • ICD (International Classification of Diseases) Coding
  • CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Coding
  • Healthcare Compliance and Regulations
  • Coding Software and Tools
Benefits of learning Medical Coding

Understanding these basics equips individuals to accurately code medical information, ensuring proper documentation and billing within healthcare settings.
