Coding

This is a process whereby the procedures and diagnosis given in the charge sheet are coded. The most common coding systems used for procedures and diagnosis are CPT-4 and ICD-9 respectively. Based on the doctor’s medical impressions and the indications in the super-bill we need to fix a proper code for the procedure and diagnosis. This is a complicated, lengthy and time-consuming process and involves lot of thinking and analysis. Since incorrect coding leads to breach of compliance.
