AAOS Code-X Lite 2019
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) published this app to expedite coding for surgeons. It includes all orthopaedic CPT (current procedural terminology) codes, ICD-10 (tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) codes, and RVUs (relative value units). Physicians can search by code and by body site. Patient-specific content can be emailed to a user outside of the application; RVU tabulations can also be imported into any spreadsheet. Conveniently, the app will synchronize users’ favorite codes across all devices. Those with information in the 2018 version can export favorites into the 2019 version.
