Free Medical Coding App for the iPhone

Code Check presents complex medical documentation rules in a clear, concise format. Information needed to document a patient encounter can be reviewed in just 3 screen taps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. A quick review of this information will allow physicians and other healthcare providers to code and bill for medical services with confidence.

Code Check helps physicians understand medical documentation rules to ensure proper payment for the medical services actually delivered. Payment is dependent on proper documentation to support an insurance claim, and also reduces insurance audit risk.

Code Check includes the medical decision making rules developed by Trailblazer Health Enterprises LLC and required for Medicare claims for people living in Texas, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Most E / M coding apps do not include the Trailblazer MDM rules!
The Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) system plans to review 10-50 medical encounter notes every 45 days from every physician in the USA. Using this process, the Medicare RACs recovered $92 million in payments for medical services that were not supported by the medical documentation in 2010 [RAC 2010 FY Report to Congress].
Code Check has the documentation rules you need to know to protect yourself and your practice from the RAC.
Code Check is an excellent point of care reference for physicians, medical coding professionals, and physicians in training.
Code Check is also an interesting for anyone who wants to learn more about the complex health care system in the United States.
