What do Medical Coders Do?

Medical coders review patient medical records to identify reimbursable or billable events and activities. Once a reimbursable event has been identified the proper numerical code is input into a healthcare reimbursement system. Proper coding will ultimately determine the amount the healthcare provider will be reimbursed by Insurance companies or by Medicare or Medicaid. It is of paramount importance that the medical coder accurately codes each patient chart. Errors and omissions can be costly and burdensome to the healthcare system.
