Medical coding is an important function in the healthcare sector, involving the conversion of medical diagnoses, procedures, and treatments into standardized codes. These codes are used for record-keeping, insurance claims, and billing purposes. In Norway, the field of medical coding is growing steadily due to the increased use of digital health records and the need for accurate healthcare data. While medical coding is more established in countries like the United States, Norway is recognizing the value of trained coders in its public healthcare system. Norwegian medical coders mainly use the ICD-10 classification system, which is the European standard. Fluency in Norwegian and knowledge of local healthcare regulations are often essential, as most documentation is done in the native language.
