icd10-cpt-coding-assistant（ICD10 CPT 编码助手）

ICD-10 & CPT Coding Assistant

A medical coding assistant that parses clinical notes and recommends appropriate ICD-10 diagnosis codes and CPT procedure codes with confidence scoring.

Overview

This skill analyzes clinical documentation to extract relevant medical information and map it to standardized coding systems:

• ICD-10-CM: International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (diagnosis codes)
• CPT: Current Procedural Terminology (procedure/service codes)

Technical Difficulty: HIGH ⚠️

⚠️ HUMAN REVIEW REQUIRED: Medical coding directly impacts billing, reimbursement, and clinical documentation. All recommendations must be verified by a certified medical coder or healthcare provider.

Usage

python scripts/main.py --input "clinical_note.txt" [--format json|text]

Or use programmatically:

from scripts.main import CodingAssistant

assistant = CodingAssistant()
result = assistant.analyze("Patient presents with acute bronchitis...")
print(result.icd10_codes)
print(result.cpt_codes)

Parameters

Input Format

Accepts clinical notes in various formats:

• Free-text narrative
• SOAP notes (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan)
• Discharge summaries
• Progress notes
• Procedure reports

Output Format

ICD-10 Recommendations

{
  "icd10_codes": [
    {
      "code": "J20.9",
      "description": "Acute bronchitis, unspecified",
      "confidence": 0.92,
      "evidence": ["cough for 5 days", "wheezing on exam"],
      "alternatives": ["J20.0", "J44.9"]
    }
  ]
}

CPT Recommendations

{
  "cpt_codes": [
    {
      "code": "99213",
      "description": "Office visit, established patient, moderate complexity",
      "confidence": 0.85,
      "evidence": ["detailed history", "low complexity decision making"],
      "time": "20 minutes"
    }
  ]
}

Confidence Scoring

• 0.90-1.00: High confidence - Clear documentation, unambiguous mapping
• 0.70-0.89: Medium confidence - Good documentation, some interpretation required
• 0.50-0.69: Low confidence - Incomplete documentation, multiple possibilities
• <0.50: Very low confidence - Insufficient information, manual review essential

Limitations

1. No Medical Advice: This tool does not provide clinical advice or diagnoses
2. Coding Complexity: Cannot handle all coding nuances (comorbidities, sequencing, modifiers)
3. Regional Variations: May not account for payer-specific coding requirements
4. Updates: Code sets may not reflect the latest annual updates
