KnowledgePro (knowledgeSource Pro) and CodeCorrect?

2022-04-04T08:16:34-06:00

I am wondering if anyone else is subscribing to KnowledgeSource Pro. We had codecorrect for many years until suddenly it stopped working. We were informed it was a pay service, and told that they do not have a record of us ever having it. So we enabled it and began paying for it. Then we learned that knowledgeSource Pro is a different service than CodeCorrect…

Just curious if anyone is using the KnowldgeSource product.

Thanks!

Visit complexity

2018-11-18T18:57:50-06:00

Hi all,

I check the coder for all new patient visits and they *always* come up as
level threes. I work in a specialty clinic where we should have a lot more level 4s. The history part and physical exam parts of the coder are fine but the decision making portion of the coder is what keeps the visits at a 3. The number of diagnoses makes sense and I usually have several. However, the complexity of data reviewed and risk of complications always always come up very low. This should not be the case.

Does anyone know specifically what in the note modifies these values?

Thanks!

EM Coder NP vs. established

2019-10-11T11:43:55-06:00

In the EM Coder screen, sometimes the patient shows as established, sometimes it shows as new patient. What drives the automatic selection in that field? The provider has been manually correcting it but would like it to be accurately automated.

Secondary codes - using smart search

2019-05-07T14:01:16-06:00

One of our providers asked if there was a change to Smart Search in V11. She said that she’s always been able to use “s/p hernia ventral repair” in her search (from assessment) to get ICD10 Z98.890. She can still do that but since we moved to V11, she said she is getting Secondary Codes pop-up which prompts her to also select “Z87.19 Personal history of other diseases of the digestive system”

Was there a change with V11? Is there a way to disable this pop-up so she can just select “s/p hernia ventral repair”?

Thank you!

CPT 96127

2017-11-17T13:45:03-06:00

Reaching out to see if anyone is billing this code and being reimbursed. We are an FQHC who does a number of theses screenings (PHQ-2, PHQ-9, SBIRT, AUDIT-C, etc) as part of our PCMH approach and we are trying to determine the easiest workflow to capture for billing purposes.

Background
CPT code 96127: Brief behavioral assessment. Code 96127: Brief emotional/behavioral assessment (for example, depression inventory, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD] scale), with scoring and documentation, per standardized instrument, is new for 2015

ICD-10 Implemenation

2015-02-18T12:10:52-06:00

Are there any providers out there currently selecting ICD-10 that results in ICD-9 claims? According to the information provided at the NUC we should be able to do this… and when 10/1/15 hits, the claims will go out with the ICD-10 as long as our practice defaults are set up properly. We would like to offer ICD-10 training to our providers but do not want to move forward until we know they can use it. We’re scared to turn it on.
Also, has anyone successfully tested with their clearing house or directly with payers?

What’s the status of the coder in V9?

2011-01-10T15:20:13-06:00

Even though my personal opinion is that the E&M;coder will never work accurately, hope springs eternal.

Anyone on V9 played with it AND self-audited the coder results?

Jen
What is the official status of the coder? Does eCW consider it an accurate tool or has it been deemed unsalvageable? It has been “under development” for too many years for that to still be the answer.

How ould you code this exam?
