 eICD10

public String[][] eICD(String criteria, String exclude)

An eICD.com ICD-10 Content Object. Returns a string array representing the ICD-10 codes in eICD.com format that meet the criteria, while eliminating any codes meeting the exclude argument.

Arguments:

criteria - string expression representing elements to be found in a search. Must be a string with length greater than one (> 1) to return any results.

exclude - string expression representing elements to be eliminated from the search. Not required.

Returns:

A two dimensional array of n ICD-10 records in eICD.com format:

[n][0] = ICD-10 code (includes decimal point where appropriate)

[n][1] = ICD-10 Chapter (0-21)

[n][2] = Chapter description

[n][3] = Class description

[n][4] = Category (3 characters)

[n][5] = Category description

[n][6] = Diagnosis description

[n][7] = Category Include text delimited with <BR>

[n][8] = Category Exclude text delimited with <BR>

[n][9] = Diagnosis Include text

[n][10] = Diagnosis Exclude text

[n][11] = General Mortality Condensed List Code (GMCL)

[n][12] = General Mortality Selected List Code (GMSL)

[n][13] = Infant Mortality Condensed List Code (IMCL)

[n][14] = Infant Mortality Selected List Code (IMSL)

eICD

public String[][] eICD(String criteria, String exclude)

An eicd.com ICD-9-CM Content Object. Returns a string array representing the ICD-9-CM codes in eicd.com format that meet the criteria, while eliminating any codes meeting the exclude argument. Please note there is a separate ICD-9-CM PROCEDURES Content Object eICP( ) (see below).

 

Arguments:

criteria - string expression representing elements to be found in a search. Must be a string with length greater than one (> 1) to return any results.

 

exclude - string expression representing elements to be eliminated from the search. Not required.

 

Returns:

A two dimensional array of n ICD-9-CM records in eicd.com format:

[n][0] = ICD-9-CM code (includes decimal point where appropriate)

[n][1] = Full description of ICD-9-CM code, lines delimited by <BR>

[n][2] = Include content, if any, in HTML format with lines delimited by <BR>

[n][3] = Exclude content, if any, in HTML format with lines delimited by <BR>. Always prefaced with "Exclude:"

[n][4] = Coding notes. Notes indicating the appropriate use of the individual code (e.g. "Use 001.9 only when a more specific code is not available" or "Use 003.29 only when diagnosis is not found elsewhere")

[n][5] = Short description of code (30 characters or less in length)

[n][6] = Medium description of code (maximum character length 250)

The maximum number of ICD-9-CM records returned are 499.

No additional digits may be added to any code, [n][0], returned.

Except in the case of null criteria, if a search returns with no records, provide less information, not more.

If you perform a search that comes up empty (produces no results), then provide less information. In particular adjectives such as left and right will cause a search to fail because diagnosis and procedure codes rarely will specify right or left (e.g. FRACTURE FEMUR rather than FRACTURE OF LEFT FEMUR)

The eICD is programmed to recognize many standard medical abbreviations such as CHF, COPD, and BPH. But if you use an abbreviation and your search fails, then try the unabbreviated form (e.g. hypertension instead of HTN).

The use of capital letters will not change your search results - searches for Vibrio, VIBRIO, vibrio, or ViBriO will yield identical results.

The eICD correctly identifies many, but not all, commonly misspelled medical terms (i.e. abcess instead of the proper form abscess). If you are unsure of the proper spelling of a word or phrase, enter only the portion of which you are sure. For example, if you are not sure how the word "ventral" is spelled, you may enter "ventr" or "ntral" or any other combination of contiguous letters in the word. Obviously, the more information you provide, the more specific and accurate your search results.

You may notice that The eICD will automatically search for substitute words or phrases. Some items indexed in the text version of the ICD-9-CM will not be associated with a specific diagnosis code but rather refer you to another word or phrase. For example, if you look up "cancer" in the index, you will find- "see Malignant neoplasm". Changes in spelling, as well as changes in syntax, are also present throughout the textual index (e.g. "Hallus- see Hallux", and "Glottitis- see Glossitis"). The eICD search engine will automatically make the substitutions in the search criteria for you. If "cancer" is one of your criteria, the eICD will search for "malignant neoplasm". As with all entries in criteria, this feature is not case sensitive (it will substitute Cancer, CANCER, cancer, as well as CanCEr with malignant neoplasm). Please note that in all cases in which there is a choice, the American English syntax or spelling will be preferred.

Your search will retrieve all records that contain your criteria, and you can also explicitly exclude records from your search by entering exclude terms.

eCPT

public String[][] eCPT(String criteria, String exclude, String zipcode)

An eicd.com CPT™™ Content Object. Returns a string array representing the CPT™™ codes in eicd.com format that meet the criteria, while eliminating any codes meeting the exclude argument. If zipcode represents a valid United States postal zip code, eCPT() will also return the applicable local Medicare fee ([n][12]) as determined by CMS (formerly HCFA). eicd.com format for CPT™ codes includes a Book, Class, and Category tiered hierarchy for each code.

 

Book: 

eicd.com has followed the AMA division of the CPT™ 2003 into six (6) Books- Evaluation and Management, Anesthesia, Surgery, Radiology, Pathology and Laboratory, and Medicine

 

Class: 

eicd.com has further sub-classified each code. Every Book is subdivided into classes based on the code description. There are a total of eighty-eight (88) Classes in the CPT™ 2003. Examples of a CPT™ Class include: Dialysis, Gastroenterology, Surgical Pathology, Chemistry, Automated, Multichannel Tests, Digestive System, Musculoskeletal System, Radiology of the Upper Arm and Elbow, and Home Services.

 

Category: 

Each Class is subdivided into a set of categories, again, based on code description. There are 712 discrete categories for the CPT™ 2003. Examples of a CPT™ category include: Larynx- Excision, Lungs and Pleura- Endoscopy, Combined Arterial Venous Grafting for Coronary Bypass, Clinical Treatment Management- Hyperthermia, and Critical Care Services.

 

Arguments:

criteria - string expression representing elements to be found in a search. Must be a string with length greater than one (> 1) to return any results.

 

exclude - string expression representing elements to be eliminated from the search. Not required.

 

zipcode- string expression representing a five (5) digit United States postal zip code. Not required.

 

Returns:

A two dimensional string array of n CPT™ records in eicd.com format:

[n][0] = CPT™ code

[n][1] = Book grouping of the code.

[n][2] = Class of the code.

[n][3] = Category of the code.

[n][4] = Full description of the CPT™ code.

[n][5] = Coding notes, such as the appropriate use of modifiers for the code.

[n][6] = RVU: the relative value unit of the code

[n][7] = Average fee: the average Medicare fee for the code.*

[n][8] = Maximum fee: the maximum Medicare fee of the code.*

[n][9] = Minimum fee: the minimum Medicare fee of the code.*

[n][10] = Short Description: 30 characters or less.

[n][11] = Medium Description: 80 characters or less.

[n][12] = Zip code specific Medicare fee. Empty if no valid zip code entered, or no fee listed by CMS (formerly HCFA).*

* Not all CPT™ codes have an associated Medicare fee. In some instances, such as for the anesthesia codes, the fee is listed as N/A

 

---

The maximum number of CPT™ records returned are 499.

If you perform a search that comes up empty (produces no results), then provide less information. In particular adjectives such as left and right will cause a search to fail because diagnosis and procedure codes rarely will specify right or left (e.g. FRACTURE FEMUR rather than FRACTURE OF LEFT FEMUR)

The eCPT is programmed to recognize many standard medical abbreviations such as bx and fx. However, if you use an abbreviation and your search fails, then try the unabbreviated form (e.g. hypertension instead of HTN).

The use of capital letters will not change your search results - searches for Vibrio, VIBRIO, vibrio, or ViBriO will yield identical results.

The eCPT correctly identifies many, but not all, commonly misspelled medical terms (i.e. abcess instead of the proper form abscess).

Obviously, the more information you provide, the more specific and accurate your search results.

You may notice that The eCPT will automatically search for additional words or phrases. Many procedural words, suffixes, prefixes, and phrases that are commonly interchanged, such as oscopic/ oscopy, or otomy/ ostomy, will be included in the results of a search.

Your search will retrieve all records that contain your criteria, and you can explicitly exclude records from your search by entering exclude terms.
