Diagnosis and Service Codes...

Medical coders analyze medical source documents, assign universal alphanumeric codes, and verify that the diagnosis matches the procedure codes. This is vital to medical quality control, medical billing, medical research, healthcare statistics, and the reimbursement process for the provider. Furthermore, accurate coding makes the medical record keeping and practice management processes more cost-effective and reliable.

Diagnosis Codes: In medicine, diagnostic codes are used to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, and medical signs, and are used to measure morbidity and mortality.
