Award-winning Medical Coding Software System

For over a decade, CodeLink^® has been the medical coding software system of choice for healthcare providers and claims coders. This advanced medical coding system generates input data based on medical record information the user selects to expedite claim submission and minimize denials. CodeLink Pro 2011^® now offers ICD9 to ICD10 cross referencing based on the Center for Medicare and Medicaid’s General Equivalency Mapping. Our credential team analyzed each ICD-10-CM code and created meaningful abbreviations that accurately describe the code.

CodeLink^® provides information on the precise codes and claim information selected by the user including the entire listing of CPT^®, HCPCS, ICD-9-CM codes, notes, include and exclude notes. CodeLink^® specifically address utilization, validation, modifier usage, and the National Correct Coding Initiative (CCI) edits for unbundling and potential upcoding occurrences.

CodeLink^® also incorporates Medicare’s rules and regulations, which are provided on a code-by-code basis and allows users to retrieve Medicare’s National Correct Coding Policy and Medicare fees by carrier and ZIP code, which means fewer Medicare denials, improved reimbursements, and lower audit liability, among many other benefits.

Some of the system’s other features and benefits designed to help users avoid the most common medical coding pitfalls include:

• Fast and accurate lookup of CPT^®, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes, which dramatically reduces time and errors in coding
• Procedure-to-diagnosis code linkages (available for all major specialties), which help ensure that reported diagnoses support and justify billed services
• Full expansion of ICD-9-CM fourth and fifth digits to ensure proper code selection
• Cautions for patient age and gender-specific codes, as well as warnings for manifestations and unspecified codes, which help minimize reporting errors
• An E/M code finder feature that makes evaluation and management coding a snap
• Access to Medicare’s rules and regulations on a code-by-code basis
• Access to Medicare’s fees by carrier and fiscal intermediary
• Fragmentation and rebundling
• Customizable user interface
