Drug reference
Drug-to-Diagnosis Cross-Reference
Search medication references and associated conditions inside the HCC Buddy encoder. Check the documented diagnosis before selecting an ICD-10-CM code.
Sources: FDA NDC drug product records and DailyMed labeling
Use Drug Reference to look up medication information and associated conditions, then return to the ICD-10-CM code path. A medication alone does not establish a diagnosis or prove documentation support. Check the provider documentation and the code result’s applicable release and source status. See the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, section I.A.19.
How It Works
Search a medication
Enter a drug name, brand, or generic ingredient to find associated diagnosis codes.
See diagnosis codes
Review associated conditions, then open the code result for its billable status and applicable source period.
Check HCC impact
Check source-labeled HCC information in the code result. An association is not a coding recommendation.
Drug reference as part of the coding workflow
A medication list can prompt a closer look at the documentation. It does not establish diabetes, heart failure, or a missed HCC. Review the documented condition and follow the applicable clarification process when the record is unclear.
Search by medication name for associated conditions, or by ICD-10-CM code for related drug references. Open a code in the encoder to review its instructions, release and source status. Confirm the diagnosis in the documentation before assigning it.
Open Drug Reference in EncoderProduct records and labeling documents are different units; neither is a count of distinct medications.
Check the source record when freshness matters. The FDA NDC Directory contains product listings, and an NDC listing does not establish FDA approval or payer coverage. DailyMed provides labeling submitted by companies. A source publisher's update schedule does not confirm when HCC Buddy last imported it.
