Medical coding is the translation of medical diagnosis, treatments, medical services, and medical equipment into a universal medical alphanumeric code. The medical coder designates medical diagnoses and procedure codes that are taken from medical professional’s, surgeons and lab notes.

Medical coders must obtain accreditation through either the AAPC or AHIMA. AAPC gives the CPC (Certified Expert Coder) credentials, while AHIMA provides the CCS (Qualified Coding Expert) qualifications.
