ClaimLens™
Documentation
Everything you need to know about using ClaimLens for AI-powered clinical coding.
Getting Started
ClaimLens is an AI-powered clinical coding assistant built for family medicine. Paste a clinical note, and ClaimLens extracts CPT codes, ICD-10 codes, E/M levels, HCPCS codes, and modifier suggestions in seconds. It also estimates reimbursement by payer type and flags missed revenue opportunities.
Navigate to your Dashboard and paste your clinical note into the main text area. You can paste a full SOAP note, an H&P, or any structured clinical documentation. ClaimLens works best with notes that include a chief complaint, HPI, exam findings, and an assessment/plan.
If you use the Chrome extension, click "Pull from EHR" to auto-capture the note from your EHR tab (Cerner, Epic, Athena, or eCW).
After extraction, each code is tagged with a confidence badge:
Billable codes are fully supported by the documentation. Conditional codes may require additional documentation or clinical detail to be defensible. Opportunity codes represent missed revenue that could be captured with minor documentation improvements.
Select the correct payer type before extraction to get the most accurate results:
| Payer | When to use |
|---|---|
| Medicare | Medicare Part B beneficiaries. Enables G-codes (G2211, AWV, obesity counseling) and Medicare-specific bundling rules. |
| Medicaid | Medicaid or managed Medicaid plans. State-specific rules may apply. |
| Commercial | Private insurance, employer plans, BCBS, Aetna, UHC, Cigna, etc. Default for most working-age patients. |
| Self-pay | Cash-pay patients. Maximizes all billable codes without payer restrictions. |
PHI Scrub is ON by default. Before your note leaves the browser, our client-side scrubber strips:
The scrubbing happens entirely in your browser. Your original note is never modified, and unscrubbed text never reaches our servers. You can toggle PHI Scrub off if your note is already de-identified.
Features
Pro and Practice users can process up to 5 notes at once using batch mode. Paste multiple notes separated by a clear delimiter (e.g., ---), or upload them as separate entries. Each note is processed independently with its own code extraction and reimbursement estimate.
ClaimLens formats extracted codes for direct paste into your EHR. Supported copy modes:
| EHR | Format |
|---|---|
| Cerner | PowerChart-compatible code list with descriptions |
| Epic | SmartPhrase-ready format for problem list and charge capture |
| Athena | Athenahealth billing module format |
| eClinicalWorks | eCW-compatible billing entry format |
ClaimLens includes 90+ pre-built dot phrases across family medicine, behavioral health, preventive, procedures, and care management. These are shorthand templates you can insert into your note before extraction to ensure complete documentation. Examples include .htnfollowup, .dmtype2, .awvmedicare, and .wellchild. Access them from the dot phrase menu in the dashboard.
The A&P Rewriter takes your assessment and plan section and rewrites it with billing-optimized language. It preserves clinical accuracy while ensuring documentation supports the highest defensible code level. The rewriter adds specificity (laterality, chronicity, severity) and links diagnoses to their corresponding treatments.
Pro and Practice accounts automatically save extraction results (codes and revenue estimates only — never clinical note text). View past extractions from the History tab in your dashboard. Filter by date, payer, or E/M level. Export history as CSV for practice analytics and revenue tracking.
Clinical Reference
| Code | MDM Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
99211 | N/A | Nurse visit, no physician MDM required |
99212 | Straightforward | 1 self-limited problem, minimal data, minimal risk |
99213 | Low | 2+ self-limited problems, limited data review, low risk (OTC meds, minor surgery) |
99214 | Moderate | 1+ chronic illness with exacerbation, moderate data, moderate risk (Rx drug management) |
99215 | High | 1+ chronic illness with severe exacerbation, extensive data, high risk (hospitalization, drug requiring intensive monitoring) |
| Code | MDM Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
99201 | Straightforward | New patient, straightforward MDM (note: deleted by CMS 2021, historical reference) |
99202 | Straightforward | New patient, straightforward MDM |
99203 | Low | New patient, low complexity MDM |
99204 | Moderate | New patient, moderate complexity MDM |
99205 | High | New patient, high complexity MDM |
ClaimLens automatically detects and applies combination ICD-10 codes when documentation supports them:
| Conditions | Combo Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HTN + CKD | I12.9 | Hypertensive chronic kidney disease, unspecified stage |
| DM + Nephropathy | E11.22 | Type 2 DM with diabetic chronic kidney disease |
| HTN + Heart Failure | I11.0 | Hypertensive heart disease with heart failure |
| HTN + CKD + HF | I13.0 | Hypertensive heart and CKD with heart failure and CKD stage 1–4 |
| DM + Retinopathy | E11.319 | Type 2 DM with unspecified diabetic retinopathy without macular edema |
| DM + Neuropathy | E11.40 | Type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified |
These codes are only billable when Medicare is the selected payer:
| Code | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
G2211 | Visit complexity add-on | Adds ~$16. For ongoing longitudinal care of a condition. Cannot bill with preventive visits. |
G0438 | Initial AWV (Annual Wellness Visit) | First AWV ever. Includes health risk assessment, screening schedule, advance directive discussion. |
G0439 | Subsequent AWV | Subsequent annual wellness visits after initial G0438. |
G0447 | Obesity counseling (15 min) | BMI ≥ 30. Up to 22 sessions in 12 months. Must document behavioral counseling. |
Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) drive Medicare Advantage risk adjustment. ClaimLens flags HCC-relevant diagnoses to help you capture the full acuity of your patient panel:
Practice Accounts
Practice accounts let you manage a team of providers under a single billing account. To create a practice, navigate to Dashboard → Practice and click "Create Practice." Enter your practice name and you'll be assigned as the practice owner.
Each practice includes up to 5 seats. As the practice owner, go to the Practice tab and click "Invite Member." Enter their email address and they'll receive an invitation link. Team members get full Pro-level access and share the practice extraction pool.
Practice owners can view aggregated analytics across all team members: total extractions, revenue captured, most common E/M levels, top ICD-10 codes, and payer mix. Analytics are available from the Practice tab and can be exported as CSV for reporting.
If you're already on a Pro plan, you can upgrade to a Practice plan from Pricing. Your existing extraction history and settings will be preserved. The practice plan includes all Pro features plus team management, shared analytics, and a higher API rate limit.
API Access
ClaimLens offers a REST API for programmatic access to clinical code extraction. Integrate ClaimLens directly into your EHR workflows, billing software, or custom applications. The API supports all the same features as the web dashboard: payer selection, patient type, visit type, and PHI scrubbing.
API access is available on Pro and Practice plans. Generate your API key from the Dashboard API tab.
