What Do They Do?

Medical Records Technicians complete medical billing and coding tasks such as compile health information data, medical history, and document symptoms, examination results, treatment methods and diagnosis prescribed by the health care provider.  They organize the information and verify its accuracy prior to entering the data into a computer.

They use Billing and Coding classification systems to code and categorize patient information for reimbursement purposes, for databases and registries and to maintain patients’ medical and treatment histories. Technicians then report the information for purposes of reimbursement, risk management, quality assessment and research.

They truly value your success!”
