What is ED?
Emergency Department medical coding involves assigning standardized codes (like CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS) to diagnoses, procedures, and services provided in an emergency setting.
It ensures accurate documentation, billing, and reimbursement for healthcare providers.
ED coders translate medical records into universal codes used by hospitals and insurance companies.
