Medical Coder Jobs in New York

A Medical Coder is a crucial part of the medical administration industry. They are entrusted with the task of reading and analyzing patient records to determine the correct codes for patient records. They use these codes to classify diagnoses and procedures, facilitating insurance billing by assigning and ensuring correct medical codes. This process involves a keen attention to detail in order to accurately record and categorize patient data. Medical Coders also interact with health professionals to ensure accuracy and stay updated with changes in medical coding practices.

Key skills that are vital for a Medical Coder include knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, and physiology. They should also have strong organization skills, attention to detail, and be able to handle confidential information appropriately. Certifications such as Certified Professional Coder (CPC) or Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) are often required. Prior to becoming a Medical Coder, individuals may have roles such as Medical Secretary, Health Information Technician, or Medical Records Clerk. These roles provide an understanding of medical terminology and the healthcare system, laying a solid foundation for a career in medical coding.
