What is a Remote Clinical Coder?
Medical coders are certified experts who transcribe patient’s information into a standard medical record. Health records are drafted using a standard medical code system developed by the American Medical Association, reducing the chances of misinterpretations and errors during patient care. Healthcare coders apply CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS coding standards, ensuring precise documentation of procedures, diagnoses, and healthcare services in compliance with HIPAA. The accurate coding standardizes billing and minimizes claim denials, speeding up payment reimbursements for healthcare providers. The remote model also reduces overhead costs associated with in-house staff, making it a cost-effective solution for all practices.
