Medical Records Technician-Outpatient Coder

MRTs (Coder) are skilled in classifying medical data from patient health records in the hospital setting, and/or physician-based settings. These coding practitioners analyze and abstract patients' health records, and assign alphanumeric codes for each diagnosis and procedure. To perform this task, they must possess expertise in International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
