New Product: Medical Lab Tests w/CLD Ranks

(Another FindACode.com EXCLUSIVE)

The more advanced "Medical Lab Tests w/CLD Ranks" product includes Clinical Lab Decision (CLD) rankings.

CLD uses a proprietary ranking system that enables healthcare providers to correctly select and order the most relevant tests based on diseases, symptoms, and ICD-10 codes.

Our CLD system scores over 10,000 test-disease/condition pairs, assigns a rank from 1 to 10 and displays the ranks as a simple color coded indicator of clinical relevance, medical necessity and testing indication.

For example: "ABO Group and Rh Typing":

The rankings also show up on each CPT/HCPCS or ICD-10 code information page when the code is associated with a Medical Laboratory test:

Using these Rankings:

Ensures reimbursement by meeting medical necessity standards
Helps meet Medicare and insurance compliance
Arms you with the information you need to support testing decisions
Avoids liability, malpractice and lawsuits
Decreases healthcare costs by reducing over-utilization
Shortens the time from diagnosis to treatment - leading to a reduction in procedures and admissions
Reduces the number of tests sent to reference laboratories

New Search area has 3 search options:

1) Keyword search with new Methodology and Specimen Type filters:

Keyword search with new auto-suggest:

2) New search by test name also with Methodology and Specimen Type filters:

3) New search by disease:
