Medical Lab Tests w/LDS Ranks

(Another FindACode.com EXCLUSIVE)

The more advanced "Medical Lab Tests w/LDS Ranks" product includes Laboratory Decision System (LDS) rankings.

LDS uses a proprietary ranking system that enables healthcare providers to correctly select and order the most relevant tests based on diseases, symptoms, and ICD-10 codes.

Our LDS system scores over 10,000 test-disease/condition pairs, assigns a rank from 1 to 10 and displays the ranks as a simple color coded indicator of clinical relevance, medical necessity and testing indication.

For example:  "ABO Group and Rh Typing":

The rankings also show up on each CPT/HCPCS or ICD-10 code information page when the code is associated with a Medical Laboratory test:

Using these Rankings:

• Ensures reimbursement by meeting medical necessity standards
• Helps meet Medicare and insurance compliance
• Arms you with the information you need to support testing decisions
• Avoids liability, malpractice and lawsuits
• Decreases healthcare costs by reducing over-utilization
• Shortens the time from diagnosis to treatment - leading to a reduction in procedures and admissions
• Reduces the number of tests sent to reference laboratories
