Technical skill required to build a career in medical coding
Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss all about the technical skills which is required to build a career in medical Coding
Technical knowledge needed in medical coding
Medical billing specialists must have a good working knowledge of computers. While much of the work is done using specialized software, specialists should be proficient in the use of word processors and spreadsheets.
Knowledge of email and messaging platforms is important for sending and receiving communications.
Along with these technical skill, some software knowledge also needed
SOFTEWARE USED IN MEDICAL CONDING ?
1) Encoder software
Encoder software automates the process of finding and assigning the right medical codes based on patient records. This software lets coders enter medical terms and receive suggestions on coding pathways.
Many hospitals use 3M’s encoder software, although smaller practices may prefer the more affordable Optum solution.
Encoder [software] gives us all of the coding guidelines and resources
Encoder software solutions are a one-stop shop for all the resources professional coders need to use. They also help medical billing and coding students gain the tools they need to excel in their future careers.
2)Computer-assisted coding (CAC) software
CAC software analyses clinical documents and suggests medical codes based on the relevant data. While this automates some aspects of coding, medical coders still need to review the accuracy of the recommended codes.
TruCode by Trubridge is an example of CAC software—and the 3M™️ 360 Encompass System also uses CAC. These solutions suggest unique codes based on patient documentation, but they are no substitute for a human medical coder.
3)Virtual private networks (VPNs)
Many people are familiar with VPNs, but not everyone knows the role they play in the medical field. VPNs let medical billers and coders securely access EHR systems and sensitive healthcare data from anywhere. This technology makes remote work possible in the medical billing and coding field.
Many hospitals, for example, use VPNs to allow coders to work from home without compromising the security of patient records.
