Frequently asked questions about CPT / ICD-10 / Claims Data

What is the difference between CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10 codes? +

CPT and HCPCS codes describe the procedures and services a provider performs, while ICD-10 codes describe the diagnoses and conditions being treated. Used together in claims, they reveal both what a provider does and the patient population they treat.

How does claims data improve provider targeting? +

Specialty labels are broad and often misleading. Claims data lets you target by the exact procedures and diagnoses tied to your product, so you reach high-volume providers who actually perform the relevant work instead of everyone in a specialty.

Can I size a market with CPT and ICD-10 data? +

Yes. By aggregating procedure and diagnosis volumes across providers and geographies, you can estimate total addressable market, prioritize regions, and forecast where new demand is emerging — all grounded in real billing activity.

Is claims data privacy-compliant? +

Commercial claims analytics use de-identified, aggregated data at the provider level. Alpha Sophia surfaces provider-level patterns rather than patient-identifiable records, keeping insights actionable while respecting privacy requirements.
