Why Your Medical Facility Should Outsource Its Coding And Billing Process
Medical coding is the process of documenting which specific services were provided to a patient by their doctor or other healthcare providers. This documentation is then typically used when the time comes to bill the customer and can help the customer's health insurance provider decide what is going to be covered and at what percentage. Some hospitals and other healthcare facilities choose to do all of their own medical coding in-house, but today, more and more healthcare providers are choosing to opt for outsourced coding instead.
