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 Foot & Ankle 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 Foot & Ankle includes a comprehensive set of CPT® codes used by foot and ankle orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists. All musculoskeletal codes for the foot and toes are included. 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 is operated on. In short, Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle offers the most complete list of codes and time-saving features currently available for use by foot and ankle surgeons. 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 Foot & Ankle 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 12 foot & ankle orthopedic zones: 1. Phalanges 2. Metatarsal 1 3. Metatarsals 2-5 4. Midfoot 5. Hindfoot 6. Amputations 7. Arthrodesis 8. Tendons 9. E&M 10. Tibia-Fibula / Ankle 11. Nerve 12. Misc Codes Please note that the price of the full version includes a required per-user royalty paid to the AMA to use CPT® codes in a licensed electronic product per code year. Attention current users of Mobile Coder Orthopedics full version: The full functionality of Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle is available to full version users of Mobile Coder Orthopedics - now included at no extra cost - allowing you to manage all of your patients through one App. If you need both general orthopedics and foot & ankle specialty codes, this is the best way to go, and will cost less than purchasing Mobile Coder Orthopedics and Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle separately. Thank you for choosing Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle - we appreciate your business! ----------------------------------- Coming soon: Mobile Coder Hospitalist & several other specialties. ----------------------------------- Have a question?

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Case Files Orthopedic Surgery at 5.0 against Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle's 4.5. Case Files Orthopedic Surgery also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Mobile Coder Foot & Ankle's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 15 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
