App Review - ICD10Doc - Diagnosis, Procedures and Billing codes
Wednesday, December 2, 2015
Today we are going to present you one of the best ICD10Doc
apps available on the App Store. As you all know the US healthcare transitions
to ICD-10 last month. The ICD-10 has different clinical modification systems
and codes. The US ICD-10 Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), for instance, has
some 68,000 codes. The US also has the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System
(ICD-10-PCS), a coding system that contains 76,000 codes not used by other
countries.
In order to find the correct ICD-10 codes for the patients’
diagnosis you will need a website or an app that already has all of the codes
indexed that has great search function. One of the best services you can find
online is certainly ICD10Doc.
The iOS app helps with finding the correct code - diagnosis
or procedure – in many vocabularies, terminologies and coding systems in
addition to the (old) ICD 9 and the new ICD-10. But the most important - CPT -
which determines how much will be eventually paid. It is one of the best rated
apps loved by over 100 iOS users.
The app and website also have all coding systems: DRG - for
hospitals only. APC and OPPS for outpatient facilities. Anesthesia - completely
different arrangement, Dental, Office visits, then all the quality measurement
systems - PQRS, HAC. Also it will enable you to determine which codes are allowed
and under which circumstances and several other features.
One of the best features of the app is probably the search
function, arguably it is one of the best you will find in an ICD10 app. The app
precisely narrows the search down to exactly what it should be according to
your search terms. That makes it a great tool to have it on your iOS device.
