Integrate Once — Stay Updated Forever
Tired of maintaining endless rules, code sets, and validation logic across multiple systems?
With Health Code Index (HCI), your integration team connects once via API — and SpesNet takes care of the rest. No rule maintenance. No manual updates. Just seamless, real-time clinical coding validation built right into your existing systems.
The Challenge: Endless Updates and Complexity
Healthcare coding and billing systems are notoriously complex to maintain. Your IT team faces:
- Constant rule changes and new regulatory requirements.
- ICD-10 updates and new CCSA revisions.
- Scheme-specific tariffs and PMB/DTP rule changes.
- Fragile, manually coded validation logic that breaks easily.
Maintaining these internally drains developer time, increases downtime risk, and delays critical upgrades.
HCI solves this by externalizing all validation logic to a single, secure, API-driven engine — updated automatically by SpesNet.
The HCI Solution: One Integration, Zero Maintenance
HCI’s RESTful API connects directly to your hospital information, claims, or billing system, providing real-time validation, lookup, and compliance checks — with no ongoing management required.
How it Works:
Your system sends coding or claim data to HCI’s API in real time.
The validated response returns immediately, ready for adjudication or submission.
HCI applies CPT-4, ICD-10, and RPL validation rules automatically.
PMB, DTP, and tariff checks are processed instantly.
“One API endpoint. Real-time validation. Zero operational overhead.”
