What is a Medical Transcriptionist and Coder?

As a medical transcriptionist you will listen to dictated recordings made by physicians and other health care professionals and transcribe the information into medical reports, correspondence, and other administrative material. A transcriptionist uses a foot pedal to pause the recording while transcribing, and keys the text into a personal computer or word processor, editing as necessary for grammar and clarity.

A medical coder identifies and assigns numerical codes to patient procedures and diagnoses by abstracting information from the patient record and utilizing required coding systems. This information is then submitted for financial reimbursement to health insurance companies and/or government agencies.
