2 Automatically Generated Coding Document Transcription service
prepared medical reports In-house (HIM/EMR) stored medical reports
Billing documents are generated from previously prepared reports
already stored within your HIM/EMR system and/or from newly
transcribed reports. When processed through our system, the ICD
coding is automatically generated and prominently displayed for use
by your staff. Documents Medical Reports In System + Newly
Transcribed Reports = Auto-Generated Coding Document

3 How It Works Through a combination of proprietary data mining
technologies (DMT) and natural language understanding technologies
(NLU), the coding automation tool has the capability to extract
text and sections of text from any medical document through DMT,
isolating elements such as drug names, procedures, diagnosis,
disorders, etc. Each element is then verified with our
comprehensive database and presented in a form that is easy to read
by coders and billers. The output text can be returned in several
ways. For example, tags (highlighted text) are added to the
document as it was done with the attached document NBC_PROCESSED or
all elements are separated, compiled and presented back in a
separate spreadsheet file. Additionally, CDA files compatible for
importing directly into an EMR can be generated.

Text that is highlighted in blue tags various findings, disorders,
products and situations. Text that is highlighted in cyan tags drug
names. Text that is highlighted in green tags diagnoses. Text that
is highlighted in brown tags procedures. CAT Document

6 Customizable Please keep in mind that the CAT document has
been processed through our DMT and NLU without adjustment. The
programming of DMT and NLU is customized for each client, specific
to their preferences and requirements, and vary depending on
medical specialty, format of documents and requirements to coding
standards.

7 Customization Screen 1 Flips are abilities for CAT to replace
text (word / phase / sentence) with another, more appropriate or
preferred text. There are 2 types of Flips: Before Processing (BP)
and After Processing (AP). BP Flips are applied to medical
documents before they are processed through our engine. BP Flips
could be useful when there are words / phrases / sentences that
trigger codes which are not appropriate on the final report. For
example, word sleep might trigger RX code 219953 for Sleep Tabs.
Adding a BP Flip (replace sleep with ) will eliminate Sleep Tabs in
all future final reports because word sleep will not be submitted
to CATs engine.
Slide 9
8 Customization Screen 2 AP Flips are applied to medical
documents after they are processed through our engine. AP Flips
could be useful when medical documents contain text that is a
synonym or not a precise description of medication / diagnosis /
procedure. For example, a particular doctor might repeatedly name
Asperger Syndrome as Asperger Disease. Adding an AP flip (replace
Asperger Disease with Asperger Syndrome: ICD10=84.5) will make
Asperger Syndrome appear with the proper coding in the final
report. All BP and AP Flips are defined and valid within each
sub-account. In situations where the same Flip would generate equal
effect, whether BP or AP in such cases a Flip must be saved as an
AP.

9 CAT Queue Users can process multiple documents through CAT
simultaneously: 1. Click Queue on the left vertical bar 2. Copy
document file(s) anywhere on the computer then click button Paste
File 3. Drag document file(s) using the mouse and drop them into
the list 4. Copy text from any other program then click button
Paste Text Then text will be extracted from the document and new
line(s) will be added to the queue. Please note that CAT does not
move the actual document, it simply creates a copy with the pure
text inside.
Slide 11
10 CAT Process Processed files are code- ready documents. To
open any processed document, simply double click on it (see next
section). If within the next section you have decided to apply some
new AP flips, you could always go back to processed files by
clicking Done on the left vertical bar, highlighting the document
and clicking Reload. The same document will be virtually processed
again using the latest list of flips. Formulating, reformulating or
reloading documents will not impact server- stored records or
charges in any way.
Slide 12
11 Coding Verification When you select the Type (dropdown), a
list of codes of selected type is populated on the left-hand side
of the screen. Clicking any line within the list will automatically
highlight the source text within the document. If CAT has failed to
locate a code, highlight text with the mouse and then click button
Add. CAT will present you a window asking to essentially create a
new AP flip.
Slide 13
12 CSV Code Extract Click button CSV and CAT will extract all
codes of selected coding type and present it for you in a form of
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Slide 14
13 Final Coded Document Finally, by clicking the DOC button CAT
will present the original text and all codes from your selected
coding type in a form of Microsoft Word document.
