Nine people I'd like to get to know better

Tagged by: @otherworldseekers - ty I needed something to do. ♥

Last song: I don't really remember. It was either something from my 80's spotify playlist or one of from my Christian mixes.

Favorite color: Purple

Last movie/TV show: Sweet Home

Sweet/spicy/savory?: Savory.

Relationship status: Taken by @voidtekarc's mun for the last 8 years.

Last thing I googled: A HCPC code for work.

Current obsession: So difficult to answer right now because I've been in a depressive slump where I am not finding enjoyment in anything I like right now even though I wanna. Sorry, I know that's kinda depressive but I won't lie about it. Let's say it's my health at the moment. My health anxiety is pretty high presently.

Tagging: Oof - I feel like I have been not so active lately to be allowed to tag anyone lol and I suck at tagging because even that gives me anxiety right now. But I'm genuinely curious about all of ya. ♥

Sorry if this is being too nosy but do you have a career in medical billing and coding? Do you have any advice if you do? I work in the insurance department at a dentist office for and was very interested in this as a new opportunity.

I do! I just started my job at the beginning of March - technically I don't have my certification yet, I'm taking the exam next week. But I have gotten familiar with a lot of aspects of it from my class and job as well as personal research, so I can help you out at least a bit. I'm also going to make this fairly general to help anyone who wants to learn about it, but I'll say everything I'm talking about only applies to America; I have no idea what this field looks like in other countries.

I'll start with the very basics of how it works. So, "medical coding and billing" is a fairly broad and pretty overlooked field, especially the coding side. They're technically two separate jobs with very different roles, but they have a lot of overlap, you can't really do one without doing at least a little of the other. They deal with taking doctors' reports, making sure the information is listed correctly, turning them into properly-formatted insurance claims, and sending them out to insurances.

Both fields work with code sets published by various organizations. If you work in a dental office, you're probably at least vaguely aware of CDT, the Current Dental Terminology code set published and maintained by the ADA for dental treatment procedures, and also possibly the ICD-10, a set of diagnoses codes published by the WHO and edited for use in America by the CMS and the National Center for Health Statistics (under the name ICD-10-CM). CDT is the dental equivalent (because dentists are such special widdle boys) to the AMA's CPT code set. Two others commonly used are HCPCS (standards published by Medicare, mostly related to medical equipment and substances) and ICD-10-PCS (a third separate procedure set, mostly used in hospitals). Any given claim will use at least two of these code sets; an ICD-10-CM code to describe the patient's issues or other reasons for visiting, and procedural codes to describe what was done during the visit.

The differences are mostly in what side of insurance you fall on. Medical coders are the buffer zone between providers and insurance. We take a doctor's report, and then break it down into all of the relevant codes (following both the standards set by the coding guidelines and for specific insurances); we list out what they did with procedural codes, and why they did it with diagnostic codes. We also act as the first line of defense against insurance mistakes, checking for patient eligibility and for any errors in documentation. The claims are then sent to the insurances by billing, who track claims made by the provider and ensure that they're paid in full, and that improperly rejected claims are corrected and resent if possible.

Certifications are a very important aspect of coding and billing as a career. The American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) (https://www.aapc.com/) is by far the biggest source of coding/billing certificates, especially the core CPC and CPB certs, like the one I'm getting. Dental coding, unfortunately, seems to be a lot more opaque, especially to me as someone with no experience in it. It looks like the ADA itself has a course (https://ebusiness.ada.org/Education/viewcourse.aspx?id=412), but there's also a group called the American Dental Coders Association (https://www.adcaonline.org/) which seems to be an AAPC equivalent group for dentistry, but I've seen some mixed things online and I have no idea how accredited they are. I'd say, if you have the opportunity, ask some coworkers who are in coding what they did to get started in the field. Otherwise, if you'd like to go into general medical coding, the AAPC is your best bet.

As for actually getting /into/ the course, you could certainly just… pay for the course on your own and take it through AAPC/ADCA, but there's likely a need for more coders in your office, and having coding knowledge is useful for someone in insurance anyways. I would do research to figure out which course is the best, and then see if you can get your office to cover your tuition. It's a win-win; you get a coding certification, and they get a new coder. For people besides anon, there's some other possibilities too. Community or medical colleges in your area will likely have some certification course open; in my case, I went through a state-sponsored job assistance program which got me into one of those. Look for things like that in your community that can help you out.

I hope this was helpful! It's a very interesting field, and I'm glad it interests you enough to ask. Don't hesitate to send any more questions my way if you need to, and good luck!

MEDICAL CODING

Medical coding is the process of extracting data from a doctor's notes on a patient's medical history, including medical procedures, diagnoses, necessary medical equipment, and medical services. This data is converted into standard medical alphanumeric codes by a medical coder.

There are three types of universally known medical alphanumeric codes:

The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a system that is widely utilised. The classification system is primarily used for data collecting and health records, among other things. These codes can categorise signs, conditions, illnesses, and fatalities. 

CPT codes are used in the US to identify certain medical, surgical, and diagnostic operations and services. This system, which has three categories—procedures and modern medical practises, clinical labs, and developing technologies—was created by the American Medical Association (AMA). 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) to facilitate in the processing of insurance claims for Medicare or other providers. They are used by coders to record medical processes, goods, services, and merchandise.

Transorze is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company for delivering high quality “Healthcare BPO” training and placement services, totally dedicated in providing the services of Medical Transcription Training,Medical Coding Training , Medical Scribing Training, ,Digital Marketing Training.

MEDICAL CODING

Medical coding encompasses a variety of coding schemes, such as the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, the Current Procedural Terminology, and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) (HCPCS). Medical coding is used to accurately monitor medical expenses for billing and reimbursement purposes, identify medical diagnoses, and record medical services and procedures.

ICD-10 code Q39. 4 Congenital malformations :- Congenital malformations are birth defects in a person's structure. Every area of the body might be affected by these abnormalities, which range in severity from mild to severe. Cleft lip and palate, heart problems, and spina bifida are a few typical instances of congenital deformities. Many things, such as genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and maternal health problems like diabetes, can result in these deformities. Depending on the kind and severity of the abnormality, different congenital malformations require different treatments, which may include surgery, drugs, and physical therapy.
