Abercrombie Radiology and Healthcare Administrative Partners Select CodeRyte Technology; Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Technology to Streamline and Improve Coding and Billing Operations.BETHESDA, Md. -- CodeRyte(TM), Inc. announced today that Abercrombie Radiology radiology, branch of medicine specializing in the use of X rays, gamma rays, radioactive isotopes, and other forms of radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. , an 80-year-old radiology group in Knoxville, Tenn., and Healthcare Administrative Partners, a medical billing and practice management company in Media, Pa., will both begin using CodeRyte's automated diagnostic and interventional radiology interventional radiology Imaging A subspecialty of radiology that provides Diagnostic information–eg, CT-guided 'skinny' needle biopsies and dye injection for analysis of various lumina and tracts–eg, arteriography, cholangiography, antegrade (IR) technology to streamline and improve their radiology coding and billing operations. "We look forward to implementing CodeRyte's technology to enhance our coding and practice management solutions," said Brian Effron, president and chief executive officer of Healthcare Administrative Partners. "We feel confident that CodeRyte is equally committed to improving healthcare efficiency and quality by streamlining the medical coding process." CodeRyte recently introduced its IR coding tool that automates coding for angiography angiography or arteriography X-ray examination of arteries and veins with a contrast medium to differentiate them from surrounding organs. The contrast medium is introduced through a catheter to show the blood vessels and the structures they supply, including , the most complicated subset A group of commands or functions that do not include all the capabilities of the original specification. Software or hardware components designed for the subset will also work with the original. of radiology coding. The angiography application features anatomy diagrams for each note, an important resource for coding angiograms. The combination of automated coding, coding-to-billing workflow and graphic enhancements brings simplification and process management to the intricate field of angiography coding. "We heard from several other radiology groups that CodeRyte is a very good company and that its services are very helpful to their practices," said Shannon Hampson, administrator of Abercrombie Radiology. In addition to increasing coding speed and quality, CodeRyte's technology facilitates compliance monitoring, streamlines the workflow process, and reduces the number of denied claims. The application uses advanced Natural Language Processing Natural language processing Computer analysis and generation of natural language text. The goal is to enable natural languages, such as English, French, or Japanese, to serve either as the medium through which users interact with computer systems such as (NLP (Natural Language Processing) The capability of understanding human language. If the language is spoken, voice recognition plays an important role in converting the sounds to individual words. Then, natural language processing figures out what the words mean. ), statistics, machine learning, clinical expertise and other web-enabled technologies to "read" clinical data from the provider's free text and automatically assign the appropriate diagnostic and procedural codes. "Our technology improves coding -- both in speed and accuracy. This translates to more appropriate reimbursement Reimbursement Payment made to someone for out-of-pocket expenses has incurred. levels, greater job satisfaction for coders, and enhanced operational efficiency for the organization," said Andy Kapit, CodeRyte CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "We're pleased to have been selected by Abercrombie and Healthcare Administrative Partners, and look forward to a longstanding relationship with both organizations." Founded in 1999, CodeRyte develops technologies and services to improve healthcare coding and billing processes.
