TruCode Encoder and TruCode Encoder essentials

TruCode is one of the top providers of medical record encoders in the U.S. When the company started, the founders envisioned a healthcare application that would automatically calculate medication costs and reimbursement based on the codes in the healthcare classification. The company turned to EffectiveSoft to create the TruCode Encoder desktop solution from the ground up.

On the next project stage, the client decided to expand the solution capabilities and move to the cloud. The task was entrusted to our engineers, who had already earned a reputation as reliable partners.

The product we developed allows medical coders to review clinical statements and assign standard codes to the diagnosis and treatment provided to the patient according to the existing classification systems.

The desktop version of the product, TruCode Encoder, effectively assists healthcare information professionals in achieving optimal levels of coding accuracy and productivity.

TruCode Encoder Essentials is a cloud version of the TruCode software that uses Microsoft HIPAA-compliant cloud storages. It has all the benefits of the desktop application and can be integrated with the medical software solution in place. The user interface components of TruCode Encoder Essentials can be individually embedded into any medical software that displays HTML content such as EMR (Electronic Medical Record), EHR software (Electronic health Record), etc.

Our solution supports its users with the following tasks:

• Editing inpatient and outpatient claims using MCE (Medicare Code Editor), OCE (Outpatient Code Editor), NCCI (National Correct Coding Initiative), Medical Necessity, and proprietary TruCode edits. Examine alternative DRGs (Diagnostic Related Grouping) for claims through Principal Diagnosis or DRG Analysis.
• Calculating the grouping and pricing of claims: DRG (Diagnostic Related Grouping), APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification), ASC (Ambulatory surgery center).
• Importing and exporting patient records.

• Displaying coding-related references in the official documents and articles.
• Researching additional information applicable to the selected code.
• Searching for necessary information by terms, codes, or even synonyms within the specified code books.
• Generating detailed productivity-focused reports.

With the solutions we built, hospitals and healthcare facilities can benefit from improved coder productivity and more accurate coding, which will reduce the number of reimbursement denials and increase regulatory compliance.

Currently, EffectiveSoft engineers continue to work on the project. In addition to the code and reference updates, the development team is focusing on UI/UX design improvements and new features to meet the needs of end users.
