CrossCoder™ for
Medical to Diagnosis Code Crosswalks
CrossCoder™ is your low cost Windows
solution for finding "crosswalks" between CPT®
Codes and ICD Codes. A "crosswalk" or "link" refers to a relationship between
a Medical Procedure (CPT Code) and a Diagnosis (ICD Code).
Medicare
uses CPT Code/ICD Code crosswalks to validate or substantiate medical necessity
based on Local Coverage Determinations (LCD).
Private payers also establish crosswalk tables
for validating and auditing medical claims.
In brief, physicians are paid by CPT procedure code not diagnosis codes. In order to validate proper coding (e.g. the reason for the
procedure or medical necessity) providers must specify a medically
necessary diagnosis. If the diagnosis does
not support the procedure the claim may not get paid.
CrossCoder allows searches (CPT Code to ICD Code by descriptions) for over 12,000
CPT/HCPCS codes including J Codes
& anesthesia and over 14,000 ICD diagnosis codes including
accident and injury codes. Exclusive to CrossCoder is the ability
to perform reverse searches from Diagnosis to Procedure Codes.
Medicare and many private payers use these links to audit your coding - why not use a tool that may have the same links they
use
and lower your audit exposure!
CrossCoder is being used by providers, administrators, private payers, managed care,
HMO/PPO/TPAs, billing services, researchers and health care consultants.
