How to use MedicalCodingIT?

There are four ways to obtain various results. Check out this video to see what I mean:

1. 1. Type a known ICD-10CM code, or related word, into the Search Bar and select from the choices that automatically appear below it.
   2. Select some text on the screen and then click “Search Selected”.
   3. Type some text directly into the Text Area and then click “Search Text Area”.
   4. Copy some text from anywhere, paste it into the Text Area and then click the paste icon:

Additionally, you may view an interactive 3D representation of the human body, powered by BioDigital, Inc.

Suggestion: Before or after the resulting text is displayed, select the “Gender” and “System” and watch key words in the text transform into clickable buttons that manipulate the 3D image.
