Wisconsin healthcare system selects CodeRyte

Aurora Health Care located in Milwaukee, Wis., has signed with CodeRyte to provide E/M [evaluation and management] coding throughout its more than 100 clinics, as well as radiology, diagnostic cardiology and pathology departments.

The Bethesda, Md.-based company said its context-sensitive technology assigns the correct service level based on the number of diagnosis of treatment options, complication risks and other data found in the report. CodeRyte said its technology automates coders' element-counting processes; and real-time reports show the status of coding work and coder productivity.

Aurora Health Care is a not-for-profit healthcare system that includes 13 hospitals, more than 100 clinics and more than 140 community pharmacies.
