Medical billing and coding are two systems that work together to track and record patient care in healthcare facilities. Consultant coding is done by external professionals hired by healthcare providers, and quick coding is done manually by healthcare providers. Understanding coding and becoming familiar with its basic concepts and procedures will improve the billing and coding procedures used by healthcare providers, assuring correct billing of medical treatments and diagnoses, adherence to ethical and legal standards, and speedy payment procedures. Medical coding and billing is the backbone of healthcare revenue management.
