NOW AVAILABLE: Subscription with 2026 CPT® Codes! -------------------------------------- Free to try before you buy! The first mobile CPT® billing application designed by an orthopedic surgeon for orthopedic surgeons. Streamlined and efficient, Mobile Coder puts an end to your coding troubles. Mobile Coder Orthopedics offers a unique graphical interface and several searching options to help you quickly identify the correct CPT® codes you’re looking for. Simply touch the relevant anatomic zone for tailored lists of CPT® codes that are easy to search. A handy text search is also provided as a powerful tool to target the correct procedure codes. Another convenient feature allows you to identify "favorite" CPT® codes so common procedures can be pulled up very quickly. Mobile Coder Orthopedics includes a comprehensive set of CPT® codes used by general orthopedic surgeons, foot specialists, and hand specialists. You can apply modifiers to your codes, and also use the same code multiple times for the same patient - great when more than one toe or finger is operated on, for example. In short, Mobile Coder Orthopedics offers the most complete list of codes and time-saving features currently available for use by any orthopedic surgeon. A full procedure report containing all patient identifying data, plus CPT® code(s), surgical assistants, location and date of surgery can be emailed directly to your biller or any email address from within the App. Patient procedure details can be logged and stored for handy future use. Residents and anyone collecting cases for research or board recertification should find this useful. Please note: As downloaded, this is a lite version of Mobile Coder Orthopedics that allows a prospective buyer to sample the user interface and all App functionality, but is limited to one code per anatomic zone sub-category. If you like it, please consider upgrading to the full version via our In-App store for a comprehensive set of CPT® codes for these 10 general orthopedic zones: 1. Shoulder 2. Humerus/Elbow 3. Femur/Thigh/Knee 4. Forearm/Wrist 5. Hand/Finger 6. Pelvis/Hip 7. Tib-Fib/Ankle 8. Foot/Toes 9. E&M 10. Misc Codes PLUS these 12 foot specialist zones: 1. Phalanges 2. Metatarsal 1 3.
