Medical Coding

Test Procedure:

The Medical Coding Test Procedure is applied across all healthcare-related projects, with thorough documentation prepared at each stage. The QA team conducts structured testing phases, logging any anomalies or coding inconsistencies to be addressed by the development team or project lead. All modifications are strictly tested in the development environment. Once fixes are verified, the solution is retested. After successful internal validation, the application is moved to the client’s staging environment for User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

Softic Digitech follows a rigorous testing protocol to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations, accurate ICD, CPT, and HCPCS coding, and overall system integrity.

Unit Test Procedure:

The objective of unit testing in medical coding applications is to validate that individual code mapping functions and data validation routines perform accurately as per coding standards. Developers are responsible for writing and executing unit tests during initial development to catch errors in isolated functions or logic paths.

Integration Test Procedure:

Integration testing begins after unit tests confirm the functionality of individual components. It focuses on verifying that various subsystems—such as EHR integration, code lookup libraries, and audit logs—work seamlessly together. The goal is to ensure interoperability, correct data flow, and compliance with healthcare information exchange protocols without disrupting existing modules.

System Test Procedure:

System testing verifies that the complete medical coding platform operates in accordance with the functional and regulatory requirements. This phase includes validation of end-to-end workflows such as claim generation, error handling, compliance reporting, and audit trail management. Key aspects include functional accuracy, usability for medical coders, security of protected health information (PHI), and compatibility with external billing and health record systems.
