ICD-10 embeddings are useful because they can capture semantic relationships between codes that may not be apparent from their numeric codes. This API returns the set of codes that are semantically related to a given ICD-10 code. This will be useful in identifying some of the codes that are typically missed during the coding process. The inputs are:

  • Payload -> The root ICD-10 code
  • ValueCode -> The number of semantically related codes to return.
