MEDICAL CODING.
Medical Coding is the transformation of a patient's healthcare procedures, diagnosis, treatment procedures, prescriptions into alphanumeric codes. This allows medical providers to track patient data, submit claims to insurance companies, and analyze trends in healthcare. Medical coding professionals use coding systems, such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) to assign codes to medical procedures and diagnoses.
International Classification of Diseases or ICD Codes are set of diagnostic codes published and managed by World Health Organisation (WHO). The ICD provides a method for classifying diseases, injuries and causes of death. For instance ICD code H40.9 denotes glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause progressive damage to the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. It is typically characterized by a buildup of pressure inside the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). This increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and blindness. While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can help slow the progression of the disease and prevent severe vision loss. Treatment typically includes prescription eye drops, laser therapies, and surgery.
