What is Medical Coding?

Medical coding is the use of numerical values or medical coding terminology to transcribe information such as the diagnosis and procedures for medical reports, health information summaries and insurance forms. In essence, the medical coder paints a picture of the medical treatments of a patient in a universal language understood both nationally and internationally.
