The application features:

• Keyword searches of the HIPAA-mandated coding sets

  • ICD-9-CM Volume 3 Procedure Codes
  • CPT® Codes
  • HCPCS Level II Codes
• Access to our ICD-9 and HCPCS eBooks, which can be printed for your reference. These full-text books can supplement your search findings and provide a way to disseminate information in non-electronic ways.

Once you have found the code you are looking for, the detail screen displays a host of coding and compliance information:

• Not applicable principal diagnosis

• Bilateral procedure

For CPT and HCPCS Codes

• Gender edits
• Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) current bundling/unbundling rules
• Medicare fee schedule pricing for each service paid by Medicare using relative value units (RVUs). This information helps you understand your reimbursement and can determine co-pay information for your Medicare beneficiaries.
• Links to the full text of applicable medical necessity policies: local medical review policies (LMRPs) and local coverage decisions (LCDs) for your particular Medicare contractor. With these policies you can determine whether the patient has diagnosis codes that will substantiate payment of the procedure. In addition, you can read whether there are any special coding or billing requirements according to the contractor.
• For Medicare fees and policies, each user has the option of changing the contractor at any time to comply with rules that apply in one practice area but not another or just to compare policies or pricing between contractors.
• Group discounts are available as the number of users increases. This is automatically calculated during the purchase process.
