Simplify Your Medical Coding Operations
Quickly find the right codes every time.
Determining the correct codes to include on a submission can be difficult and time-consuming — even for highly experienced coders. Episource Encoder solves this inefficiency by consolidating information from multiple years of official coding references into one intuitive resource. Best of all, Episource Encoder is built right into the coding tool so coders don’t have to leave the coding platform. Your coders will never again have to thumb through bulky volumes of the ICD-10 Coding Guidelines or jump to different websites.
Full Integration
You never have to leave your coding tool to use Episource Encoder. It automatically matches the scope of your coding project. For example, if a coder is working on a commercial project with DOS 2021, Episource Encoder will open to that year and provide risk adjustment symbols for that specific type of project.
Intuitive Logic
Easily find the correct code by entering a few relevant keywords.
Compatibility
Episource Encoder provides accurate codes for commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage plans.
Global Search
Look for codes for multiple years of submissions in one comprehensive interface. Entries include all relevant information associated with each code.
Streamlined Interface
The interface is clean and uncluttered. It was also designed to be accessible for readers with certain visual impairments.
How You'll Benefit
Faster, more efficient coding operations
With Episource Encoder, coders do not have to leave their coding tool to look up codes. Some coders currently use multiple resources to locate codes, which can be especially time-consuming for less experienced coders.
Accurate coding
With an intuitive global search, Episource Encoder makes it easy for even less experienced coders to locate correct codes. Comprehensive information about each code helps to differentiate between similar codes.
Reduce costs
An online tool like Episource Encoder is usually cheaper than printed versions of textbooks. Also, an online tool removes clutter from the desks of coders who would typically have several large volumes of coding books for multiple years.

Streamlining Healthcare Coding and Enhancing Revenue Forecasting in the Face of the CMS-HCC V28 Model Transition
Shortly after the version 28 of the Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) model was announced, Episource engaged with a diverse group of small- to medium-sized health plan clients facing the challenge of transitioning to the newly blended V24-V28 model. Since the average risk score decrease expected with this blended model is 3.56% in CY 2024, we helped these organizations adapt to the latest coding methodologies for risk adjustment and revenue forecasting.
Is 95% Coding Accuracy Good Enough?
It’s become industry standard to code medical records to 95%. But would you be satisfied with receiving 95% of your paycheck each month? Or 95% of your retirement savings? Probably not. Yet many health plans currently accept a 95% coding accuracy rate.
