Medical Coding is a vital component of the healthcare industry, involving the transformation of healthcare diagnoses, procedures, medical services, and equipment into standardized alphanumeric codes. These codes are derived from medical record documentation, such as physician's notes, laboratory results, and radiologic findings. The primary coding systems include the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10-CM), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System HCPCS).
