Diagnostic coding is the interpretation of a written description of illnesses, injuries, and diseases from a specific classification. When transforming descriptions of producers or medical diagnoses into standardized statistical codes, diagnosis codes are used in conjunction with intervention codes as part of the medical coding process.
Diagnosis coding takes patients' chronic diseases and illnesses information within outpatient care and the time of inpatient admission. These critical details will explain the patient's health condition to other specialists, healthcare providers, data registries, and insurance payers. |
