Medical Jargon, Decoded Automatically

Medical bills and analysis results are full of specialized terminology that can be confusing. reKUPR automatically highlights and defines medical terms throughout your analysis, so you can understand everything without opening a separate search tab.

How Tooltips Work

As you review your analysis results, you'll notice certain terms are highlighted with a subtle underline or background color. These are medical terms that reKUPR has identified and matched to its terminology database.

  • On desktop — Hover your mouse over a highlighted term to see its definition
  • On mobile — Tap on a highlighted term to reveal the definition

Definitions appear in a small tooltip near the term, keeping you in context without navigating away from your results.

What Terms Are Defined

reKUPR's curated medical terminology database covers a wide range of billing and clinical terms, including:

  • CPT codes — Procedure codes like 99213 (Office Visit) or 99285 (Emergency Department Visit)
  • Diagnosis codes — ICD-10 codes that describe medical conditions and the reason for your visit
  • Medical procedures — Terms like "arthroscopy," "laparoscopic," or "MRI" explained in plain language
  • Billing terms — Concepts like "allowed amount," "coinsurance," "deductible applied," and "write-off"
  • Insurance terminology — Phrases such as "prior authorization," "medical necessity," and "out-of-network"

Why This Matters

Understanding the terms on your bill is the first step to spotting errors or overcharges. When you know that a 99214 is a moderate-complexity office visit and your appointment was a simple follow-up, you can identify potential upcoding without any prior medical billing knowledge.

No Extra Steps Required

Tooltips are built into every analysis automatically. There is nothing to enable or configure — just review your results and hover or tap when you encounter an unfamiliar term. reKUPR handles the rest, turning complex medical language into clear, accessible information.
