The Deal With Find-A-Code Medical Billing Code Database


There is a new face on the online medical resources block and his backpack is full of all the latest gadgets medical coders asked Santa for. Find-A-Code, the newest web-based medical billing code reference library just burst onto a field traditionally crowded by publishers and old-school desktop applications. They brought with them a shiny new website that is deceivingly powerful.

The site's databases contain more than ten million medical reference codes and summaries, and serve codes from authoritative as well as more obscure code sets. They are one of the first to offer the complete set of ICD 10 Codes. At first look the website looks much like any other online reference library, but one glance certainly does not do it justice. In searching the site a little you quickly see the powerful technology cranking away in the background. Advanced filtering options along side color coded search results, reverse code lookup, and the code building feature all make life a little easier in front of the screen.

An area of slight controversy lies in the fact that similar services have begun switching to private-label versions of Find-A-Code and serving basically identical information (and interface) on their own sites. Because there are few players in the space to start with, coding professionals may have even fewer options in the near future. Hopefully they like Find-A-Code, because if the current trend keeps up coders may have to learn to love it.

An interesting tid bit with regards to Find-A-Code is that they are closely affiliated with the Chiro Code Institute, a long-time publishing company of chiropractor resources also based in south central Utah. The partnership is ironic because of the complete difference in method to how each offers access to information. Some suggest that Chiro Code may be looking for assistance in snatching up some of the online market for the information and resources they already offer physically and may be gearing up to make a push on the internet.
