Why was MeisterMed created? What is its mission?
MeisterMed was created when MeisterMed’s owner simultaneously discovered how handy PDA’s were and how little medical reference information was readily available. He started by creating CodeMeister when he saw how limited the coding accuracy was when he chose a code from a one page “superbill” and it was then translated by a medical assistant with little coding knowledge. He developed CodeMeister to ease his own clinical practice and shared it with others when he realized how helpful it was. Since CodeMeister, he’s gone on to create a number of medical references with the goal of helping medical students, physicians, and other health care providers access medical reference information in an easy-to-use format at the point of care. CodeMeister was changed from freeware to shareware in August 2001 to help support the expense of running MeisterMed. Now, all of MeisterMed’s coding references are commercial products.
