Author: Tierney Baum, CSNK2A1 Foundation Consultant Have you ever considered what happens between your doctor’s visit and receiving a bill from insurance? How do doctors and insurers communicate, and how is the billing decided? A key factor in this process is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes, which your doctor submits after your visit. Accurate coding, especially for rare diseases such as OCNDS, is crucial for receiving reimbursement for medical procedures and accurately tracking patient statistics.
