Medical Coding Auditor Resume
Medical coding is a procedure followed by the health care centers to give a unique identity to each medical case and bill. The coding helps to identify each case from other. Also, the management or doctors get an idea about the diagnosis and treatments administered by referring to the code. Medical coding auditors are responsible to verify that the clerks give accurate code to each case and compute bills in accord to the expenses levied on the patient. They check patient's medical records, diagnosis done by the doctors, laboratory test copies, and treatments administered. Based on this information, medical coding auditors check the accuracy of the expenses charged to the patient and ensure the billings are specific to the expenses.
