Our medical coding services involve translating clinical documentation into standardized codes for billing and insurance reimbursement. We follow the latest industry standards, including ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes, to capture each service’s details accurately.

CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Coding
Our team assigns the appropriate CPT codes to document each procedure or service provided, allowing insurers to evaluate claims accurately.

For services, supplies, and medications not included in CPT codes, we use HCPCS codes to provide additional specificity, ensuring accurate reimbursement.
