Abstract
A system and method for identifying medical procedure codes and medical diagnosis codes from physician reports that describe a vascular interventional radiology procedure using a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and human medical coders. In one embodiment, the system and method of the present invention creates billing results, and or other documents, that are compliant with applicable legal and policy instructions from the government or a medical institution. Medical billing codes are efficiently extracted from medical reports using a NLP engine and a graphical user interface optimized for understanding the VasIR medical procedure described in the report.
