Medical coders work in a variety of healthcare areas such as hospitals, physicians offices and insurance companies. Many also choose to set up their own home office and work remotely. They review the physician documentation in records in order to assign diagnoses and procedure codes that are used for reimbursement and data purposes. Billing forms are then filed based on the codes assigned; strict federal guidelines are in place that must be followed when assigning codes. In the Medical Coding Specialist program, learn to use two different systems in order to assign codes to the reimbursement systems for patient and outpatient coding.
