Use Cases
See how TranslateMD handles the most common medical document scenarios with verified code mappings.
Discharge Summaries
A German hospital discharge summary arrives at a US clinic with ICD-10-GM diagnosis codes, German drug brands, and metric-only lab values. TranslateMD maps every code to its US equivalent.
Diagnose: K02.1 (ICD-10-GM), Therapie: Metamizol 500mg (Novalgin)
Diagnosis: K02.10 (ICD-10-CM) — Dental caries on pit and fissure surface. Therapy: Metamizole — CRITICAL: Banned in US since 1977
- ICD-10-GM K02.1 → ICD-10-CM K02.10
- Novalgin → Metamizole (⚠ Banned in US)
- German lab units → US reference ranges
Dental Treatment Plans
German dental plans use GOZ/BEMA procedure codes and FDI tooth numbering — completely different systems from the US CDT codes and Universal numbering that American dentists use.
Zahn 36: Kronenversorgung, Vollkeramikkrone. GOZ 2210, BEMA 20a.
Tooth #19 (lower left first molar): Crown, porcelain/ceramic. CDT D2740, CDT D2750.
- FDI 36 → Universal #19
- BEMA 20a → CDT D2740
- GOZ 2210 → CDT D2750
Prescription Records
Indian prescriptions reference local drug brands that don't exist in the US market. TranslateMD maps brand names to US equivalents and flags dosage and regulatory differences.
Tab. Crocin 650mg TID, Tab. Dolo 650mg PRN
Tylenol (acetaminophen) 650mg TID, Tylenol Extra Strength 650mg PRN
- Crocin → Tylenol (acetaminophen)
- Dolo 650 → Tylenol Extra Strength
- ⚠ OTC in India, Rx-strength in US
Medical Tourism Records
Patients returning from medical tourism in Thailand bring records with ICD-10-TM codes, Thai GPO drug identifiers, and clinical terms that need complete system translation for US continuity of care.
รหัส ICD-10-TM: K35.80, ยา: Paracetamol GPO 500mg
ICD-10-CM: K35.80 — Acute appendicitis, unspecified. Medication: Acetaminophen 500mg
- ICD-10-TM → ICD-10-CM codes
- Thai GPO codes → NDC equivalents
- Thai clinical terms → US equivalents
