BTW, that’d be code S58911A for losing the arm and S88011A for the leg. :)
I’ve scoured the internet. I’ve reached out to some medical coding associates. I’ve queried my followers. I’ve created a blog post outlining the functionality I would like to see in an ICD-10 diagnosis coding tool and repeatedly shared it out to my network. I even created an online survey.
Here’s what I found. I’ve noted why I think they're not what I’m looking for.

My Findings
So I’ve found about five ICD-10 Diagnosis Coding Tools that are “in the ballpark.” But none of these operate on a tablet and all require an always-on Internet connection.
What am I doing wrong? Where am I not looking? Am I being unreasonable? Can someone point me to the ICD-10 diagnosis coding tool I’ve described at the start of this post? If so, please, please, please contact me.
If you can't help me but can share any info about your experience with ICD-9 coding tools, please take my survey.
