Medical coding is the translation of medical reports into a short code used within the healthcare industry. This helps summarize otherwise cumbersome medical reports into efficient, data-friendly codes.

These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition.
