Medical Technology

Medical Technology can be defined as the technologies that diagnose, treat and/or improve a person’s health and wellbeing, encompassing both low- and high-risk medical devices – products that can be as varied from tongue depressors, surgical gloves and medical thermometers to insulin pumps, pacemakers and in vitro diagnostics – and used to save the lives of patients everywhere across Asia Pacific every day.

Medical coders must use a doctor’s notes to assign a code to the right health condition. This information is used in research to study trends in diseases and patient treatment.

From the patient’s appointment to collecting their health information to receiving a diagnosis, medical coding creates a uniform way to bill for services. While billing and coding are two separate processes in healthcare revenue management, both ensure payment is rendered for services provided. More importantly, both help provide the analytics needed to identify healthcare trends. This data can help healthcare organizations track various conditions, diseases, and outcomes.

With all the complexities of a doctor’s visit, it seems like adding a coding system entails a whole extra layer. Wouldn’t it be enough to just list the symptoms, diagnoses, and prescribed medications?

If only it were that straightforward. But all the notes recorded after a doctor’s visit include so many varying details, it would take an insurance company twice the amount of time to decipher what took place during the appointment that needs to be billed.

Thus, medical coding was created to simplify the process, at least to a more uniform standardization for insurance companies and physicians alike. This allows the same documentation to take place in every doctor’s office, no matter what they treat, in every state in the country. This generates more accurate data, more quickly.

Every day, medical devices help save the lives of patients ..

Medical devices assist healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat patients with a higher level of accuracy and in a timelier fashion, and help patients overcome sickness or disease, improving their quality of life.

And while a global definition of what defines as a medical device is difficult to establish due to the various regulatory bodies worldwide that oversee the use and categorisation of medical devices, there is a very high likelihood that people are surrounded by medical devices without even realising it.

What is medical coding?

Medical coding is the process of translating healthcare diagnoses, procedures, services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes.

These codes are derived from various sources within the medical record, such as the physician's notes, laboratory results, and radiology findings.

They are used in the healthcare industry for a number of reasons, including billing, research, and population health statistics. Every diagnosis, treatment, medical service, or equipment used in the treatment of a patient is assigned a unique code. These codes play a crucial role in tracking patient outcomes, deciding the notion of medical necessity for reimbursements, and maintaining detailed patient records.

For some jobs, your previous certificates and documents will be required to apply for the fourth stage of study, or for employment in German states through the Bavarian Foreigners Portal Bayern Gate.

The third stage of study is also accepted for some jobs in the German health sector.
