Medical billing and coding services

Medical billing and coding services are essential components of the healthcare revenue cycle, responsible for translating clinical procedures, diagnoses, and treatments into standardized codes and submitting them to insurance companies for reimbursement. Medical coders assign accurate codes using systems like ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS, while medical billers use these codes to create and process insurance claims, follow up on unpaid claims, and manage patient billing. These services ensure proper documentation, reduce errors, improve cash flow, and maintain compliance with healthcare regulations. By outsourcing or using specialized providers, healthcare organizations can streamline operations, lower administrative costs, and focus more on delivering quality patient care.
