Question 10 • Medical Terminology - EL3620 A

What is an advantage of using medical coding?

Answer
A
It eliminates the need for electronic medical billing.
B
It helps insurance companies and healthcare providers share patient information.
C
It protects patient records from being released to unauthorized facilities.
D
It allows text-based medical records to be created from a voice recording.

Explanation

Medical coding converts diagnoses and services into standardized codes that insurance companies and healthcare providers can understand. This makes it easier for them to communicate about care and process insurance claims. Coding does not eliminate electronic billing, prevent unauthorized record access by itself, or transcribe voice recordings.
