The primary role and responsibility of a medical coder is to review clinical statements and assign standard codes using CPT®, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS Level II classification systems. Medical classification, or medical coding is the process of translating medical reports into a code used within the healthcare industry. The use of medical codes helps summarize medical services and reports. These medical code sets help medical coders document the condition of a patient and describe the healthcare procedure(s) performed on a particular patient in response to their condition.

Medical billing is the act or process of submitting and following up on claims with health insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered by a healthcare provider. The medical biller needs to understand how to read medical records and, like the medical coder, be familiar with CPT®, HCPCS Level II and ICD-10-CM codes. Medical billing translates a healthcare service into a medical billing claim. The responsibility of the medical biller in a healthcare facility is to follow the claim to ensure the practice receives proper reimbursement for the work the providers perform. While a medical biller’s duties vary based on where they work, their duties generally include: charge entry, claims transmission, payment posting, insurance followup,
and patient follow-up.
