Medical coding can be classified into four major types, which include Diagnostic codes, Procedural codes, Pharmaceutical codes and Topographical codes. Diagnostic codes are used for diseases, symptoms, disorders, medical signs as well as human response patterns. The procedural codes are used to identify the specific interventions by medical professionals. Pharmaceutical codes, on the other hand, are used for identification of medications. Lastly, topographical codes are used to indicate a specific body location.
