Product Description
CodeBreaker Professional software puts medical coding
and fee information in one easy-to-use Windows-based program,
an outstanding management tool for improving reimbursement.
Users can find diagnostic and procedure codes by keywords
with the highly indexed search engine. The software determines
code validity including ICD-9 fourth or fifth digit requirement
and CCI edits for CPT procedure codes. The customizable software
can show links between diagnostic and procedure codes, establish
custom links, and annotate the codes with important information.
CodeBreaker Professional Fee Module provides relative value units for
procedure codes, conversion factors appropriate to a user's
location, and Medicare and UCR fees. Using this module, a
user starts to think of medical practice in terms of RVUs
and conversion factors, rather than absolute amounts. This
helps to establish fees for new procedures, to realign fees
to reflect operation costs, and to negotiate managed care
contracts and other third party payer reimbursements.
