Medical Coding

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.
There are three main code sets:

  • ICD (International Classification of Diseases)
  • CPT (Current Procedure Terminology)
  • HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System)

These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition.

Medical Claims are mostly denied because of inaccurate data and incorrect coding. The AGA team can correct these for you and reduce the number of your denials. Accurate and error-free medical coding not only ensures that medical claims are submitted timely, but also takes care that you get paid timely.
