Does Codra work without internet?
+
Yes, completely. The whole ICD-10-CM code set ships inside the app, so searching, browsing the tabular list, reading the alphabetic index and opening a code's full entry all work in aeroplane mode. There is no sign-in and no account.
Does it show Excludes1 and Excludes2 separately?
+
Yes, and this is the reason the app exists. Excludes1 and Excludes2 mean opposite things — one says the two codes are never reported together, the other says both may be — so Codra never runs them together. Each appears as its own labelled section with a plain-English line saying what the instruction means.
Does Codra include the alphabetic index?
+
Yes — Diseases and Injuries, External Causes, the Neoplasm Table and the Table of Drugs and Chemicals. You can look a condition up by name, follow the sub-terms down, and jump to the full tabular entry. An app with only the tabular list is half a code book.
Which code set version is in the app?
+
ICD-10-CM FY2027, effective 1 October 2026, from CDC and NCHS. HCPCS Level II comes from the CMS public use file and Place of Service from the CMS code set. Codra does not include CPT.
How do I find out what changed on 1 October?
+
Codra has a what-changed screen listing what was added, deleted and revised for the fiscal year, and it reconciles your own favourites and lists against it. Deleted codes are kept and marked rather than vanishing, because a deleted code sitting in a charge template denies from day one.
Can I look up a denial code?
+
Yes. Codra explains what a CARC or RARC on a remittance usually means, what tends to cause it, and what to check next. These summaries are written by us rather than reproduced from the official X12 descriptors, and the app says so on the screen — check x12.org for the normative wording.
Is Codra free?
+
The free tier covers full ICD-10-CM search and browse, the complete alphabetic index, every instructional note, the full hierarchy, 15 favourites, one list, dark mode and the annual change screen, supported by ads. Codra Pro removes ads and adds unlimited favourites and lists, notes, denial codes, HCPCS Level II, Place of Service, code comparison and PDF and CSV export.
Does Codra tell me which code to assign?
+
No, and it will not. Codra is a reference tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Verify every code against the current official guidelines and your payer's rules, and consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice.
Does Codra ask for patient information?
+
Never. There is no field intended for it and the notes editor says so. No names, dates of birth, medical record numbers or claim numbers. Nothing you look up leaves your device, because there is no server for it to reach.
Does it work on a night shift?
+
There is a full dark theme, and text scales to 200 percent without a line going missing. You can long-press any code anywhere to copy it.
