Abstract: A healthcare charge capture and prioritization system for assisting healthcare providers with capturing their procedures and prioritizing code selection for claim submission is presented. The system can analyze healthcare claim-related data for ranking and ordering Current Procedural Technology (CPT) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes to reduce the utilization of additional processing resources and network utilization from repeated system denials. Additionally, the present disclosure can generate and track analytics relevant to a patient encounters and provider action. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for processing and managing patient interactions, processing and managing healthcare-related charge entry, processing and prioritizing healthcare-related procedure technology codes, and processing and prioritizing disease and related health problem codes.

Abstract: The present invention describes an automated method for creating impressions of machine-readable encoded symbology using thermojet type solid object printing technology. This is accomplished by electronically transmitting a software file containing a part identification symbol representation in Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD) software format to a ThermoJet™ type solid object printer where tiny droplets of a wax like material are deposited in successive layers to form a three-dimensional pattern insert containing representations of the encoded symbology for combination with a pattern replica of a part to be encoded by said symbology. A casting mold is thereafter formed from the combined pattern and a casting is made from the mold to result in a machine readable 2D Data Matrix type encoded, directly marked, part.
