How Natural Language Processing(NLP) is Transforming Medical Coding 
In the complex world of healthcare administration, medical coding is a key support. Imagine Maria, a skilled coder, bent over her desk at 2 a.m. She squints at a doctor’s quick, messy notes. Her task? Translate terms like ‘acute exacerbation of COPD’ into specific billing and insurance codes. This ensures compliance. Just one wrong digit can slow down patient care.
