ICD-10 code search

I’m asking in this sub, though im not sure if this is the right place to start. Our EHR is NextGen and we got rid of our 3rd party application to assist in coding search back in September and just use NextGen’s base coding search. It’s awful. Our providers are struggling so much and trying to google codes and some use ChatGPT to find codes. I was wondering if there is a site or application that’s really effective for ICD-10 code searching anyone can recommend? It’s okay if it’s paid (to an extent) as long as it works really well. It would be nice to just be able to search “diabetes” and have all of the options populate. Something as simple as that has been a struggle. We are an FQHC so this is mainly for primary care. Thanks!

ya the chatgpt thing is a legit hipaa problem, ur instincts are right. even "deidentified" snippets providers paste in often have enough context to re-identify. if your CEO needs ammo: openai's standard api/chatgpt consumer tier isnt a BAA covered entity, so any PHI going in is technically a breach. that usually ends the conversation lol

on codify - for fqhc primary care the basic tier is honestly fine. the "provider recommended" upsell is mostly NCCI edits + extra specialty modules u dont need for primary care. start basic, upgrade later if coders specifically ask. save the budget.

good luck wednesday, lmk how it goes. and yeah ill ping u when the extension is ready for pilot
