A Medical Coding course teaches students how to translate medical diagnoses, treatments, and procedures into universal codes used for billing, insurance, and record-keeping purposes. The course typically covers coding systems like ICD-10 (for diagnoses), CPT (for procedures), and HCPCS (for services and equipment). Students learn how to accurately assign codes, ensuring proper reimbursement and compliance with healthcare regulations. These courses often prepare students for certification exams, such as the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) exam, and provide foundational knowledge for working in hospitals, clinics, or insurance companies.
