Workflow

Overview

Medical records are filled with ICD-10-CM, ICD-9, and CPT codes that are meaningless to attorneys without translation. CaseMark's ICD-CPT Code Normalization skill automatically identifies every diagnostic and procedure code in your uploaded records, translates them into plain-language descriptions, and flags billing anomalies that matter in litigation. The result is a clean, attorney-ready code reference that saves hours of manual lookup and reduces the risk of misinterpreting critical medical information.

Attorneys handling personal injury, medical malpractice, and insurance disputes routinely encounter dense medical codes in records, bills, and reports. Manually looking up each ICD-10, ICD-9, and CPT code is tedious and error-prone, and missing a laterality mismatch or billing anomaly can mean overlooking a key argument in your case.

CaseMark automates the entire code translation process. Upload your medical records and receive a comprehensive, normalized code table with full narrative descriptions, ICD-9 to ICD-10 crosswalks, and flagged billing anomalies—all in minutes. Every code is rendered in plain language so your chronologies, demand letters, and billing analyses are immediately understandable.

How to hand this to Para

Questions

What types of medical codes does this skill handle?

CaseMark's code normalization skill handles ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, legacy ICD-9 codes found in older records, and CPT procedure codes. It automatically cross-walks ICD-9 codes to their current ICD-10-CM equivalents so you have a unified, modern reference.

Can it identify billing irregularities in medical records?

Yes. CaseMark flags common billing anomalies including improper bundling or unbundling of procedure codes, incorrect encounter sequencing (such as initial encounter codes used on follow-up visits), and laterality mismatches between documented findings and coded diagnoses. These flags are invaluable for billing dispute litigation.

What if a code in my records is uncommon or hard to verify?

CaseMark uses comprehensive code reference databases to translate codes. In the rare case a code cannot be verified with full confidence, it is clearly marked so you know exactly which descriptions to double-check before relying on them in filings.

Do I need to extract the codes from records before uploading?

No. Simply upload the full medical records, billing statements, HCFA-1500 forms, or encounter notes. CaseMark automatically identifies and extracts all diagnostic and procedure codes embedded in the documents, regardless of formatting inconsistencies.

How does this help with demand letters and medical chronologies?

Attorneys frequently encounter raw medical codes in records they need to summarize for demand letters or chronologies. CaseMark translates every code into plain language so your work product is immediately understandable by adjusters, opposing counsel, and clients without requiring a medical coding reference.

Is this skill useful for older medical records with ICD-9 codes?

Absolutely. CaseMark automatically detects ICD-9 codes in older records and cross-walks them to their current ICD-10-CM equivalents, providing both the legacy code and the modern translation so you can work with a consistent, up-to-date code set across the full medical history.
