What Are Urgent Care Billing and Coding Services?
Urgent care billing and coding services involve translating patient encounters into standardized codes, including Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for treatments and services, and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for diagnoses.
These codes are essential for submitting claims to insurance companies and ensuring proper reimbursement.
For example, if a patient visits for a broken bone, the service provided (e.g., X-ray, casting) is coded using CPT codes, while the diagnosis (e.g., fracture) is recorded using ICD codes.
