On Medical Coding  

A coder extracts a medical diagnosis and turns into a alphanumeric code, sends to an insurance company for reimbursement. That's the basic gist of it but there are other intracacies involved with the position like the various accounting/billing systems we use to track every kind of money coming in to the hospital via the medical codes.

Interesting! I worked a different side of that. I did data entry where the doctors and hospitals send us the forms and we entered the codes for the insurance company. I loved that job! Good luck to you in pursing this.

Thanks triedit. I hope I can share the same enthusiasm as you did with your job.
