Inpatient coders are responsible for coding and abstracting records of inpatients. This includes diagnosis, procedures, provider documentation, and reimbursement information. They also review medical charts to identify appropriate codes and apply them accurately as per guidelines set by the American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
Outpatient coders, on the other hand, code patient data for services provided in a ambulatory or outpatient setting. Outpatient coders are expected to have an understanding of CPT codes, ICD codes and HCPCS regulations. They must also be knowledgeable about different levels of service rendered so that they can accurately code and report the services provided. Outpatient coders must also work diligently to ensure that the codes they select meet the proper coding guidelines. This requires them to stay current with any changes in coder regulations or guidelines. Lastly, outpatient coders are responsible for making sure all procedures billed accurately reflect the services actually performed.
In summary, both inpatient and outpatient coders play a crucial role in ensuring efficient coding and billing within a healthcare organization. They are expected to have an extensive knowledge of medical coding regulations and adhere to all applicable standards while working with precision and accuracy. By doing so, both types of coders help protect the integrity of healthcare organisations by preventing fraud and under-reporting of services rendered.

By doing so, both types of coders help protect the integrity of healthcare organisations by preventing fraud and under-reporting of services rendered.
Inpatient coders are responsible for coding and abstracting records of inpatients. This includes diagnosis, procedures, provider documentation, and reimbursement information. They also review medical charts to identify appropriate codes and apply them accurately as per guidelines set by the American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), International Classification of Diseases (ICD), and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
Outpatient coders, on the other hand, code patient data for services provided in a ambulatory or outpatient setting. Outpatient coders are expected to have an understanding of CPT codes, ICD codes and HCPCS regulations. They must also be knowledgeable about different levels of service rendered so that they can accurately code and report the services provided. Outpatient coders must also work diligently to ensure that the codes they select meet the proper coding guidelines. This requires them to stay current with any changes in coder regulations or guidelines. Lastly, outpatient coders are responsible for making sure all procedures billed accurately reflect the services actually performed.
In summary, both inpatient and outpatient coders play a crucial role in ensuring efficient coding and billing within a healthcare organization. They are expected to have an extensive knowledge of medical coding regulations and adhere to all applicable standards while working with precision and accuracy. By doing so, both types of coders help protect the integrity of healthcare organisations by preventing fraud and under-reporting of services rendered.
