Correct medical Coding is vital for ensuring accurate reimbursement by payors and creating a proper record of patient care history. Of course, it aids in precise billing for the submission of clean claims and speedier reimbursement by insurance companies.
A medical coder takes the description of diseases/injuries/healthcare procedures and transforms them into alphanumeric codes to describe the diagnosis and procedures performed on the patient. There are different categories of codes and they are
- 1. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT): Maintained by the American Medical Association, this large set of codes describes the medical procedures, technologies and services performed on the patient by the healthcare professional.
- 2. International Classification of Diseases (ICD):This code describes the primary evidence of the injury or illness. The current revision being used is ICD-10. In the USA, Clinical Modification (CM) is used to expand and clarify the ICD.
- 3. Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS): This code set is maintained by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and is used for reporting procedures to Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors. There are two levels. The first level (Level I) is used in the same way as CPT. The second level (Level II) describes equipment, medication, and outpatient services that are not in the CPT.
CMS has mandated a payment model Risk Adjustment and Hierarchical Condition Category - HCC coding, which is being implemented since 2003. This hcc medical coding model identifies patients with severe or chronic illnesses. For such patients, a risk factor score is assigned based upon the health conditions and demographic details. The patient’s health conditions are identified through the ICD-10 diagnoses.
