About Medical Coding Updates
An independent educational and industry-information platform for coders, billers, auditors, CDI and revenue-cycle professionals.
Last updated
MedicalCodingUpdates.com is an independent educational and industry-information platform created to help healthcare professionals understand changes affecting coding, billing, reimbursement, compliance, risk adjustment and revenue cycle management.
Our mission
Turn complex healthcare updates into practical information for coders and billers.
Regulatory and code set changes arrive as final rules, transmittals, addenda files and payer bulletins. They are accurate, but they are rarely written for the person who has to apply them on Monday morning. We read the primary source, explain what changed in plain language, and show what it means for coding, billing and compliance — with a link back to the original so you can verify it yourself.
Who we write for
- Medical coders and coding managers
- Medical billers and revenue-cycle teams
- Coding auditors and compliance professionals
- CDI specialists and HCC / risk adjustment coders
- Physicians, practice managers and healthcare administrators
- Students preparing for a coding career
How we work
- Source transparency. Every update names its primary source and links to it.
- Clear dates. Every article shows when it was published and last updated, and the effective date when one applies.
- Fact separated from opinion. Analysis and commentary are labeled.
- Human review. AI tools may assist with drafting, but nothing is published without human verification. See the editorial policy.
- Visible corrections. Significant corrections are dated and displayed on the article. See the corrections policy.
