“We chose CodeRyte so we could convert to an electronic format and improve our coding. We are looking forward to reducing our days in AR, improving our compliance program and improving our bottom line. CodeRyte showed us how powerful coding technology can make a big difference in many areas.”
Brian Rutledge, manager of business and clinical operations
for the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s division of cardiovascular diseases

Cardiologists’ medical reports are information-rich, yet too often, the intricacies of the reports are buried deep in the text and are not coded correctly. CodeRyte's computer-assisted coding technology harnesses the full power of these reports, interpreting them in their entirety and automatically assigning appropriate CPT and ICD-9 codes.
Our system runs the codes through CCI, LCD and NCD edit checks in real time as coding occurs, catching errors on the spot, not after the fact. This process reduces denials and enables a faster billing process. A direct link between our coding software and your practice management system eliminates charge entry and data entry errors. All services provided by a cardiology department or a cardiology practice can be accurately reviewed and coded by our software including:
- Office testing
- E/M service level coding
- Hospital testing
- Cardiac intervention
- Peripheral intervention
- Electrophysiology
Special concerns, such as coding services provided within a global period, are easily addressed using our Related Notes feature, which provides links to related services for each patient allowing the coder to assign modifiers when appropriate. Real-time reports show the complete status of coding work and coder productivity. No more self-reported time sheets or pulling paper records to run audits by hand.
CodeRyte also distinguishes between services provided at the office and services provided at the hospital, using either the global codes or professional component codes. Our software is able to create an audit list of E/M notes that do not match the level of care reported by the physician, providing the ability to prevent inaccurate claims submission and valuable feedback about coding or documentation inconsistencies.
