Did you know?
- The word codificación and the English word 'code' are cognates that trace back to the Latin 'codex', which originally meant a 'block of wood' used for writing.
- In many Spanish-speaking countries, the billing process is inextricably linked to the factura electrónica, a government-mandated digital invoice used for immediate tax auditing. This means a medical professional is not just performing a service but generating a formal tax document in real time.
- The Spanish word factura is used for both a 'bill' and an 'invoice', whereas English typically distinguishes between a request for payment and a record of a transaction.
