Data "D" input by a health care provider reflects all signs, symptoms, findings, diagnoses, treatments and procedures including billing data "B" when required for billing or expensing purposes. The data is automatically converted, by means of a data processing system, into corresponding medical codes "C" of at least one set of established medical codes representative of all of a patient's codifiable signs, symptoms, findings, diagnoses, treatments and procedures representing said patient's contemporary personal and medical data "D" associated with a contemporary visit to the health-care provider for storage in said data processing system, data C including data B identified by the health care provider as being required to be submitted for payment or reimbursement to an insurance carrier or HMO while data E = C - B does not require identification by the health care provider, wherein C - B > 0. |
