TOPIC : Cancer Awareness Programme and Role of Medical Coding
SPEAKER : Dr. Manoj kumar Mishra
TIME : 11.00 AM - 12.00 PM
DESCRIPTION :
Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes. The diagnoses and procedure codes are taken from medical record documentation, such as transcription of physician's notes, laboratory and radiologic results, etc. Medical coding professionals help ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process, which includes abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and creating a claim to be paid by insurance carriers.
