Medical Coding is the combination of letters and numbers to describe diagnosis, procedures, medical service and equipment for inpatient and outpatient records on a computer.
Medical Coding Professionals help ensure that codes are entered correctly during the medical billing process. By using physicians’ notes, medical record documentation, labs and radiology results, coders translate the written observations into the appropriate codes – which then becomes a claim paid by insurance carriers.
The OS2U Mentee Program is a uniquely designed course that is broken up into 2 phases, risk adjustment and outpatient coding.
