Pathologists must strike a delicate balance between practicing medicine and running a business in today’s healthcare environment. With increasing test volumes and costs, compliance issues and decreasing reimbursement it has become increasingly difficult to both practice pathology and manage business operations. Hospitals are choosing to outsource their pathology departments and at the same time, many pathologists are expected to thoroughly code their own reports.

CodeRyte’s computer-assisted coding technology offers pathology professionals a new alternative and a simpler process. We leverage the power of our Web-based interface to link pathology organizations to hospitals and billing systems. Our natural language processing engine reads the text of pathologists’ reports and automatically assigns highly accurate codes for surgical pathology, histology, cytology, anatomic pathology and more. 

Our consistent and accurate engine is always up to date with the latest pathology coding rules and guidelines. CodeRyte clients maximize appropriate reimbursement, enhance compliance and efficiency, while decreasing denials and accounts receivable. 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. The technology also helps you create a flexible workforce by giving you the tools you need to effectively manage remote coders.

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 ensures correct coding, reduced denials and enables a faster billing process. Special concerns, such as multiple tests for one patient, 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.
