1. Data Collection and Usage

The ICD-10-CM Coding Assistant is a free service that processes clinical information to suggest relevant medical codes. We prioritize your privacy and security:

  • We do not store or retain any clinical information or medical notes
  • All processing is done in real-time and data is immediately discarded after processing
  • We do not collect any personal information
  • No cookies or tracking mechanisms are used

2. Important Privacy Guidelines

To protect privacy and comply with regulations, please:

  • DO NOT include any patient names, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information
  • DO NOT include any protected health information (PHI) as defined by HIPAA
  • Only input relevant clinical information needed for coding purposes

3. Data Security

While we employ industry-standard security measures to protect data during transmission, we recommend following these best practices:

  • Use general clinical descriptions rather than specific patient details
  • Focus on medical conditions, symptoms, and procedures relevant for coding
  • Verify that your input contains no sensitive information before submission
