Unfortunately, I paid money for this app. Before I check it out there’s multiple codes that are not highest level of specificity.
Developer Response
Thank you for this valuable feedback. We understand that 'highest level of specificity' is critical for avoiding claim denials. We are currently working on a UI update that will clearly label billable vs. non-billable (parent) codes and provide prompts for the 7th character extensions. We would love to hear which specific codes you found lacking so we can prioritize those in our 2026 database refresh. Please reach out to support@vlrsoftware.com so we can make this right for you.

For the most part the best ICD-10 app I've come across. Pros: -Query vocabulary more flexible than some apps. -Users can create their own folders, and can list same "favorite" in two different folders if they want (e.g. if you wanted to list varicella under both infectious dis. as well as dermatology)- exclusion codes listed for each dx. Cons:-I've struggled with some diagnoses when trying to drill down to appropriate specificity. Sometimes the 5th-6th digit does not pop up if you search by keyword only. I have to go back and put the first four digits in and look thru the options that then appear. I'd like the option to alphabetize my favorites lists and to customize/rename terms from the sometimes awkward ICD-10 vernacular. So far my lists are short enough that it's fairly easy to scroll through them. Despite that minor frustration, this is my favorite ICD 10 search app so far.
Very Cool App! but...

This is probably the best ICD-10 app and trust me I've reviewed at least 9 for mobile apps and about 11 for the MAC. I give it 4 stars because of 2 reasons: 1- A bit pricey and 2- I'm unable to customize my favorites. I would like to be able to write alternative names that don't appear in the ICD system such as Pickwickian Syndrome or abbreviations for some of the Most Common Diagnosis such as TTP, HOCM, CHF, T2DM, etc. when you guys do this, you will get 5 stars.
Good App

The free version is very nice, though I upgraded to remove the ads. The full version is perhaps a little pricey, but I use it all the time, and it works beautifully. It's like having the entire 1200+ page ICD-10 document at your fingertips, with the ability to search and add favorites. Pleased.
