Here's how the code searching functionality works. EncoderPro.com lets you search up to four lay terms, abbreviations, acronyms, and even misspelled words across CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10-CM and PCS, and ICD-9 code sets to achieve clinically accurate results all within a second. EncoderPro.com clearly displays results in the corresponding hierarchy and allows you to consolidate adjunct code information with user notes or a notepad for handy reference. At a glance, coding instructions, lay descriptions, and multiple crosswalks are also readily available. Hard to navigate coding guidelines are a thing of the past. You can see ICD-10 chapter, section, range, and code notes from a single page, making time-consuming code book page flipping a thing of the past. Convenient color-coded edits identify whether a code carries an age or a sex edit requires additional digits, is covered by Medicare, or contains quantity alerts. We've briefly seen EncoderPro.com's comprehensive search capabilities in action with ICD-10 codes, but it doesn't stop there. EncoderPro.com's dynamic search engine extends across CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10 as well. You can even search multiple code types all at once. Additionally, users can view code details such as Medicare reference information, code-specific information, or Optum360 code content, as well as customizable print code detail across all code sets so users can choose what they want to see in print.

Print detail includes helpful code information such as lay descriptions, modifiers, CCI, and multiple crosswalks.

When it comes time to check your work and review codes, the expert version of EncoderPro.com includes a compliance editor. Users can enter coding information directly in the compliance edit screen. Simply enter criteria as it appears on a claim. When the Run checkbox is clicked, compliance editor performs a scrub of your claim, automatically checking your code selections against hundreds of industry standard edits, including local and national coverage determinations to determine medical necessity, CCI on bundles, age, gender, modifiers, and can even review state-specific Medicaid guidelines for compliance. Additionally, users can now access edits for claim denials and claim appeal support. Users can optimize time by performing compliance checking on an entire batch of claims using EncoderPro.com expert's claim batch editor.

This tool allows users to load practice management system generated claim files, scrub claims, and review error reports for claim repair prior to submittal to a claims payer.
