CodeBase RCM — Coding Edit Checker

About

CodeBase RCM Coding Edit Checker automatically detects CPT/HCPCS codes on browser-based medical coding platforms and checks them against CMS NCCI bundling edits, MUE limits, and common coding rules — in real time, while you code.

WHAT IT DOES:
• Scans your coding platform (aiHealth, etc.) for CPT/HCPCS codes as you work
• Checks every code pair against 4.1 million+ NCCI PTP edits from CMS
• Shows MUE (Medically Unlikely Edit) unit limits per code
• Flags E/M + procedure same-day encounters missing modifier 25
• Warns about multiple E/M codes on the same encounter
• Displays CMS short descriptions and Medicare rates for each code
• Color-codes rows directly on your coding platform: red for edits, yellow for warnings, green for all clear
• Links to CodeBase RCM (codebasercm.com) for deeper policy research

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Install the extension
2. Open your coding platform (aiHealth)
3. Codes are automatically detected and checked
4. Results appear in a draggable floating panel
5. Use the toolbar popup for quick manual code pair checks

You can also click the extension icon anytime to manually check any two CPT codes — no coding platform required.

POWERED BY PUBLIC CMS DATA:
All edit data comes from freely available CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) sources:
• NCCI Procedure-to-Procedure (PTP) edits
• Medically Unlikely Edits (MUEs)
• Medicare Physician Fee Schedule
• CPT/HCPCS code descriptions

No patient data is ever accessed, stored, or transmitted. The extension reads only standardized billing codes (CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10), never PHI.

BUILT FOR REVENUE CYCLE TEAMS:
Whether you're a medical coder, billing specialist, auditor, or RCM manager, this tool eliminates the need to toggle between your coding platform and a separate edit checker. It brings NCCI edits directly into your workflow.

CONFIGURABLE:
• Toggle individual checks on/off (NCCI, MUE, E/M, multiple E/M)
• Enable/disable inline highlighting and floating panel
• Show/hide code descriptions and Medicare rates
• Toolbar badge shows edit count per tab
