MEDICAL CODING.

                                        

Medical Coding is the conversion of a patient's diagnosis by a doctor or a health professional into universal codes. These includes a patient's diagnosis, treatment received or equipment used . Medical coding's primary use is to ensure medical billing and insurance carriers pay and process claims correctly, but the system is also valuable for research purposes and basic medical record-keeping for patients.

                                   

 Each code tells insurance companies, researchers, or other physicians in health care, the exact diagnosis, procedure, or medical service provided. In short, these codes act as a universal way to quantify health care visits and make physician’s notes less abstract for insurance carriers and anyone who has access to your medical records.

                                         There are generally three types of universally known medical alphanumeric codes: ICD (International Classification of Diseases), CPT (Current Procedural Terminology),  HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding ). 

                                          International Classification of Diseases or ICD was created and managed by World Health Organisation (WHO). ICD codes indicate a patient’s condition, the location and severity of an injury or symptom, and if the visit is related to an initial or subsequent encounter. The classification system is largely used for the purpose of health recording and data collection, among other uses. These codes can classify symptoms, diseases, illnesses, and causes of death. For instance ICD code E10.9 denotes type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. 

                                       

 Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin- dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition. In this condition, the pancreas  make little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy. Type 1 diabetes is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body attacks itself by mistake). This reaction destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin, called beta cells. This process can go on for months or years before any symptoms appear.

                                         

                                   Even after a lot of research, type 1 diabetes has no cure. Treatment is directed toward managing the amount of sugar in the blood using insulin, diet and lifestyle to prevent complications. Symptoms may include :

• Increased thirst 
• Frequent urination
• blurred vision
• fast heart rate
• weight loss.

                                   From a simple code we can derive a lot of information about a patient's health condition. Transorze Solution provides highest quality training in HBPO (medical coding, medical transcription and medical scribing.)
