"I started using ICDMeister several years ago after one of my
front desk ladies coded myelodysplastic disorder for a patient
with fibromyalgia! It has been with me almost ever since.
Not only has it improved my coding for the billing service, but
has helped me with more accurate documentation in the medical
record. As a hospitalist, I couldn't function this easily
without it!"

"I have used ICDMeister since its inception, and its predecessor
CodeMeister for probably ten years. It has become integral to my
medical practice. I have always felt the right code is worth the
effort instead of settling for one "in the ball park."
ICDMeister gives me the tool I need. The quality of the product
and the service are top-notch."

"I have loved ICDMeister since the first time I
downloaded it onto my palm about 4-5 years ago. It makes
coding the correct ICD a breeze. Thank you for a wonderful
product."

"If you’re like me, you need codes and you need
them quick. This program delivers. With two ways to search, you
can be opening the next chart in the time it would have taken to
find the big book. I tried 3 programs and settled on this one.
It runs flawlessly – no crashes. The interface between
ICDMeister and CPT®Meister
is useful – especially for skin surgery – and works smoothly. I
recommend these programs without reservation.”

"Your products have been a life saving force for
me. I cannot see myself working in the office without them (once
I even drove home to get my PDA - it would take me less time to
do this than to look the codes up)."

"Some years ago, after using a number of
resources for ICD-9 coding, I found ICDMeister unparalleled for
providing ICD-9 codes at the point of care, in the exam room.
Now I spend most of my time at a desk, with immediate access to
my desktop computer and reference books. Still, I find
ICDMeister on my Palm the fastest, most elegant resource for
ICD-9 coding."

"ICDMeister is a big help, especially it was
right after residency and start of the new practice. It saved me
a lot of time in the office and gave opportunity to code right
from the beginning. I will recommend it to anybody who wants to
code right and have to learn something that nobody teaches in
residency."

"MeisterMed produces some of the most useful
things for my medical practice. I use ICDMeister and CPT®Meister
regularly and find them easy and fast to get accurate
information from. My coding accuracy has improved dramatically
(just ask my wife). The desktop version of ICDMeister is open on
my computer every day.
Customer service and support is fast and excellent."

"I use ICDMeister everyday in my patient care.
Often I have a specific diagnosis in mind and no code exists on
my office cheat sheet, or even if it is on the cheat sheet it
takes too long to try to sort out which system someone has
placed it in and then visually search the list. I can bring up
ICDMeister in seconds, type in the diagnosis and presto!-there’s
my ICD. I end up with much more specific codes that are more
accurate in describing the diagnoses and, I believe, in
supporting my billing. Physicians are responsible for diagnosing
the patient. If we write in a non–specific ICD and our billing
office enters something we did not intend, we are responsible
for that being sent in to the insurance company; whenever
possible I record the exact ICD-9 code number myself, instead of
using words and ICDMeister makes it possible for me to do this.
I am often pulling it out when our medical assistants are trying
to schedule a procedure and need the ICD for a diagnosis one of
my colleagues has written out but has no code for-it makes
everyone’s jobs easier having ICDMeister around. I have even
considered buying a Palm for my assistant and loading ICDMeister
on it so she can do the looking up herself."

"I have been using ICDMeister for the past two
weeks and
find the program extremely helpful....it enables me to code
diagnoses much more easily and faster than referral to the
monstrous manual....I heartily recommend it for all Family
Practice physicians."
