What is Australian Medical Coding?

Australian Medical Coding is a special system employed to convert medical diagnoses, procedures, and health services into alphanumeric codes that are standardized. The method facilitates the collection of accurate health data, management of patients’ records, and billing in Australia’s healthcare system. The ICD-10-AM is at the center of this system, where ICD-10-AM stands for the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Australian Modification.

The ICD-10-AM is a comprehensive code system for the classification of diseases, symptoms, and other health conditions specifically tailored to the Australian clinical setting. It is complemented by the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI), which supplies codes for surgical and medical procedures.

Together, these categories of classification ensure that patient data are documented consistently and accurately, supporting hospital funding and health insurance claims, medical research, and population health analysis. This precise and structured methodology enables accurate monitoring of health patterns and medical interventions. The ICD-10-AM and ACHI codes provide a complete snapshot of an episode of care for a patient.
