UNDERSTAND THE WORK
Use medical records to assign codes and prepare claims.
Billing and coding professionals work with the information recorded during healthcare visits. Their work focuses on records, insurance claims, and billing rather than providing direct patient care.
Medical coding
Review documented diagnoses, procedures, and services. Assign the appropriate medical codes.
Medical billing
Use coded information to prepare bills and insurance claims and help track reimbursement.
Both require careful attention to details. A missing document or incorrect entry can impact how a record or claim is processed.
FEI’s program teaches both billing and coding so you can understand how the activities connect.
