DRG Coder

Coding capabilities in an EMR often are insufficient for the details coders and nurses require for compliant coding. That's where SuperCoder's DRG Coder designed by coding analysts steps in with an efficient, intuitive replacement to coding books. This online reference is always up-to-date unlike CDs and offers:

• Simple Lookup by Code or Keyword: Look up thousands of abbreviations like cabg or dm and search instantly across CPT®, ICD-9 Vol 1 & 3, HCPCS, ICD-10, and DRGs
• Related DRGs: After a DRG official descriptor, Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) specialists can view DRGs that differ solely based on patient condition alerting nurses to, for instance, major chief comorbidities (MCCs or CCs) that qualify for higher DRGs and more pay
• Forward and Backword Mapping: Both coders and nurses can lookup information the way they think by CPT® to ICD-9 Volume 1 or 3 code to DRG or the reverse
• Improved documentation compliance with 8 pages of new Inpatient Coding & Compliance Alert advice every month with articles that highlight top changes, reimbursement pitfalls, and more
• No update hassles: This web-based solution is always up to date including LCDs, NCDs, MCEs. CPT® 2013 code changes coming in October!
• Special benefits for CDI nurses with color-coded OR procedures that alert them to ICD-9 Vol 3 Status without leaving DRG page.
• Group Note Sharing: Forget downtime due to copying one year's notes to the next year's books. DRG Coder is the only coding solution to allow multi-user accounts to share notes on code neighborhood pages for a big picture view. All notes are time and date stamped and editable by an administrator. Individuals can opt to share or privitize their notes
• Color-Coded Symbols at Multiple Levels means less clicking from page to page. For instance, operating room and non-operating room ICD-9 procedure codes are identified right on the DRG page without a nurse having to flip to the ICD-9 Volume 3 page — but the symbol is there too for coders who will go there first!
• A Coding Development Team That Works for You: From custom search settings that mimic code book lookup to revenue codes on CPT® code details pages to flexible layouts to see the tools you want first, SuperCoder's coding team strives to meet customers' requests for systems that ease workflow.

• LTC-DRGs and MS-DRGs tied to ICD-9 Vol 1 and 3 codes and DRGs to serve both Long-Term Care Hospital and Acute Care coding needs
• ICD-10 Bridge so nurses can zoom in on documentation that'll take ICD-9 codes to both mapped ICD-10 and approximation ICD-10 codes for more specific ICD-10 code usage and potentially better reimbursement
• Lay Terms at CPT® code level for quick reference leading to more accurate coding
• EMR Integration through API or portal - Ask for a demo.
• Coder training to make switching from books to online a breeze. We'll show coders how to look up a term like they do in your indices.
• Multiuser major discounts and tools like Usage Reports and ID redesignation so administrators can review research efforts and reassign accounts. Call or email us to request a private group demo and trials so staff can evaluate this amazing answer to coders and nurses Part A coding needs.
