Medical coders analyze medical records to assign numeric or alphanumeric codes to diagnoses, procedures, and medications. Medical billers then use these codes to prepare and submit claims to insurance companies on behalf of healthcare providers. The coding and billing processes help healthcare providers get paid for medical services and generate summaries of patient treatment. Both roles require training to accurately record and track patient data and insurance information.
