A "crosswalk" or "link" refers to a relationship between Medical procedure (CPT) and Diagnosis (ICD).

Medicare uses CPT/ICD crosswalks to validate or substantiate medical necessity under LCD/LMRPs (Local Medicare Review Policy). Third Party payers also establish crosswalk tables for validating and auditing medical claims.

In brief, physicians (Part B) are paid by CPT procedure not diagnosis. In order to validate proper coding (e.g. the reason for the procedure) providers must specify a diagnosis. If the diagnosis does not support the procedure the claim may not get paid.

CrossCoder allows searches (CPT to ICD) and reverse searches ICD to CPT) for over 12,000 CPT/HCPCS codes including J Codes & anesthesia and over 13,500 ICD diagnosis codes including accident and injury codes. Other features include the ability to annotate existing crosswalks, add your own crosswalks and create custom reports.

Medicare and many private payers use CPT/ICD links to audit your coding - why not use a tool that may have the same links they have (and allow you add your own links and notes) and lower your audit exposure!

CrossCoder is being used by providers, administrators, private payers, managed care, HMO/PPO/TPAs, billing services and health care consultants.
