Workflow

Overview

Medical records are filled with ICD-10-CM, ICD-9, and CPT codes that are opaque to attorneys and legal staff. 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 irregularities that may be relevant to your case. The result is a clean, attorney-readable reference that eliminates the need for manual code lookups.

Attorneys reviewing medical records for litigation routinely encounter dozens or hundreds of ICD and CPT codes that require manual lookup across multiple databases. Each code must be correctly interpreted for laterality, encounter type, and billing context—a tedious, error-prone process that consumes hours of paralegal or nurse consultant time and risks missing billing irregularities that could impact case value.

CaseMark automates the entire code normalization workflow. Upload your medical records and receive a complete, attorney-readable translation of every diagnostic and procedure code, with legacy ICD-9 codes cross-walked to current standards and billing anomalies flagged for your review. What previously took hours of manual research is delivered in minutes with consistent accuracy.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload medical records, billing statements, or encounter notes containing diagnostic and procedure codes

  2. 2. AI identifies, normalizes, and cross-references all ICD-9, ICD-10-CM, and CPT codes found in the documents

  3. 3. Review plain-language translations, billing flags, and laterality or encounter character observations

  4. 4. Export the attorney-readable code summary in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

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 cross-walks ICD-9 codes to their modern ICD-10-CM equivalents and expands all codes into full narrative descriptions.

Can it identify billing irregularities in medical records?

Yes. CaseMark flags common billing anomalies such as improper bundling or unbundling of procedure codes, incorrect encounter characters (e.g., coding 'initial encounter' on a twelfth visit), and laterality mismatches where the coded side doesn't match documented findings.

How does it handle codes that are formatted inconsistently in records?

Medical records frequently drop decimal points, add spaces, or otherwise deviate from standard code formatting. CaseMark automatically normalizes all codes to their proper format before translating them, so you get clean, consistent output regardless of how the source records were formatted.

Does it work with older medical records that use ICD-9 codes?

Absolutely. CaseMark recognizes ICD-9 codes in older records and automatically cross-walks them to their current ICD-10-CM equivalents, providing both the original and updated codes with full narrative descriptions.

What if a code can't be verified?

When CaseMark encounters an uncommon code that cannot be verified with high confidence, it clearly marks the description with a verification flag and surfaces it in the methodology section so you know exactly which codes may need manual confirmation.

What types of cases benefit from this skill?

Any case involving medical records benefits from code normalization. CaseMark is especially valuable for personal injury demand letters, medical malpractice chronologies, workers' compensation claims, billing disputes, and insurance coverage litigation where understanding coded diagnoses and procedures is critical.
