Question:  I keep having to re-Sign-In when I'm using FindACode.com?

Answer:  Yes, we do. If you need an account with more than one user, call our customer support at 801-770-4203 for a group pricing quote.


Question:  How do I add more subscribers to my Account?

Answer:  You or the subscriber who is marked as an "Account Admin" will see a list of subscribers in your account on the "My Account" page.  Above the list is a link that says "Add New Subscriber".  Click this link to enter the information for the new subscriber.  Your next bill will automatically reflect the addition of the new subscriber.


Question:  Is there a limit to how many extra subscribers we can have on one Account?

Answer:  Currently there is no limit to how many additional subscribers can be added to an Account.  However, the billing and payment information is only billed and recorded on the Account level (we do not do separate billing for individual subscribers).  Individuals or groups of subscribers that need separate billing need to create separate Accounts (through the normal subscribe process).


Question:  If my Account has multiple subscribers will they all be billed together (at the same time)?

Answer:  Yes, all subscriptions in your Account will be billed on the same day and on the same bill/invoice/charge.


Question:  How will I be billed if I add a subscriber in between my billing periods?

Answer:  Subscribers added during your billing period will be charged a pro-rated amount covering the period until your next billing date.  This amount will be charged at the time the new subscriber is added to your account unless it is within a few days of your next bill.


Question:  How do I add/remove something on my account?

Answer:  You can make changes to your account at any time by going to your My Account page. Click on the Account Setup tab to add and remove users, or specific tools on a user's account. You can call customer support at 801-770-4203 for further assistance.

Code Specific Questions

Question:  Do you link up manufacturer parts with codes?

Answer:  No, just as a single insurance company can have hundreds of different plans with different rules for each plan, the same is true for medical supplies. We highly recommend that you work with your manufacturer to determine which code would be the appropriate code to use when billing for their supply and/or part. Please keep in mind that both manufacturer parts and HIPAA code sets change frequently.


Feature Questions

Question:  Is there a tutorial I can view to get me started?

Answer:  You can view our demo videos here: Demo Videos & Tutorials


Question:  Does Find-A-Code offer crosswalks?

Answer:  We have crosswalks available in our Cross-A-Code tool, which is included in the Professional and Facility/Hospital subscriptions.

We have had the full codes sets for both ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS since 2008 - along with many tools such as Build-A-Code, Browse-A-Code and Click-A-Dex that have been ICD-10 compatible all along. Annual code set updates have been applied as they have be released. ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes are always up-to-date.


Question:  Can I look up codes for a specific specialty (ie Behavioral Health, Orthopedic)?

Question:  Why is the fee schedule not generating any pricing?

Answer:  If the fee schedules are showing zeros in the columns, that means that medicare will most likely not reimburse for that code.
