Every chart, checked before you sign.
Cortex Lens reads the chart while you write it. It catches the vague codes, missed diagnoses, and under-billed visits that cost independent practices money — and hands you the exact fix before sign-off. No new EMR, no migration, no after-hours pajama time.
01 · First flag
A kidney code that's drifted.
Maria's eGFR is 38 — stage 3b territory — but her problem list still says stage 3a. One click recodes it, and the chart row updates in place.
02 · Missed diagnosis
Diagnosis mentioned, never coded.
“Reports occasional foot tingling at night” — that's neuropathy, living in the note but missing from the problem list. Cortex pulls G63.2 straight from the phrase.
03 · Visit level
The work here supports a 99214.
Labs reviewed, medication adjusted — this is already level-4 work. Cortex ticks the visit level up to what the note justifies. Nothing more.
Cortex reads the open chart and flags 3 issues before sign-off.
The EMR is not going away. The waste around it can.
Lens is a thin overlay on top of the chart-entry screens clinicians already use. It does three things, and only three things.
HCC gaps · MEAT-criteria misses · claim-killing code conflicts · prior-auth risk · E/M leveling
- 01
Reads the chart in context.
Watches the same chart-entry workflow clinicians already use, in PracticeFusion, Athena, eClinicalWorks, or any FHIR-connected EMR. Sees what was documented, what's on the problem list, and what's missing.
- 02
Recommends concrete fixes.
Not vague "documentation gaps." Specific suggestions: "N18.31 needs to be N18.32 — labs show eGFR 38." "I12.9 and I15.0 are mutually exclusive — payers deny this pair." Each fix tied to the source data.
- 03
Stays inside the practice.
A read-only overlay that respects the EMR of record. No new login, no migration, no six-month implementation. The PHI never leaves the practice's environment.
Physicians finish seeing patients at 5:30. They don’t close their last chart until 10 or 11. They call it pajama time. Not affectionately.
The thing that keeps a clinician up isn’t usually “did I do the right thing for this patient.” That gets resolved in the room. The question is “did I document the right thing in the right way so that a coder in two weeks, or a payer in three months, doesn’t deny this claim or ding us on a quality metric.”
