Established as a training company in 2006, Code Medix is currently one of only two External Clinical Coding Companies in South Africa and it is made up of one of the current small pool of coding trainers in the country.

Since inception, Code Medix has expanded through a relative niche market with a combination of substantial organic growth and strategic decision making.  Today Code Medix has an efficient, integrated business platform offering a range of services and products in South Africa.

Substantial market research indicates that clinical coding training, auditing and consulting, and the positioning of Clinical Coding as a career, is a need in South Africa.  Code Medix helps to address this need by actively assisting and designing Clinical Coding training standards and working with the  Private Healthcare Information Standards Committee (PHISC) in the absence of a Ministerial Task Team.
