Types of Medical Coding



Types of Medical Coding:

     We have two types of  Medical coding.


1. Physician Coding: Doing to get reimbursement from Insurance companies and Third Party Payers to Physicians (Doctors)

2. Hospital Coding: Doing to get reimbursement from Insurance companies and Third Party Payers to Hospitals


Physician Coding and Hospital Coding divides into again two types. Those are


Outpatient Coding : Those who perform medical coding for Clinics, Physician offices and

Hospital Emergency rooms. These are typically referred to as "Outpatient Medical Coders". 


Inpatient Coding : Those who perform medical coding in major hospitals. 

These are typically referred to as "Inpatient Medical Coders".
