Ambient Encounter Notes
Eluve listens to your patient encounter and generates structured notes — chief complaint, vascular and neurological exam findings, biomechanical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment plan — without you typing a word.
Auto Billing & Coding
Podiatry-specific CPT codes like 11721, 11055, 28296, and G0127 are suggested automatically based on the procedures performed. Q-modifiers for routine foot care and modifier -25 for same-day E&M are flagged when applicable.
Procedure Note Generation
Operative and procedure notes for bunionectomies, hammertoe corrections, ingrown nail avulsions, and injections are generated with pre-op diagnosis, anesthesia details, technique, findings, and post-op instructions included.
Diabetic Foot Care Documentation
Comprehensive diabetic foot exams are documented with vascular status, neurological findings, skin and nail condition, risk classification, and the qualifying diagnoses needed to support Medicare coverage for routine foot care.
Referral Letter Generation
Referral letters to vascular surgery, endocrinology, orthotics labs, and wound care centers are drafted automatically from the encounter — including relevant imaging, vascular studies, and clinical findings.
Treatment Plan Summaries
Post-visit summaries with custom orthotic instructions, wound care protocols, weight-bearing restrictions, and medication details are generated in patient-friendly language — ready to hand to your patient at checkout.

How a podiatry visit works with Eluve
Patient history at a glance
Eluve compiles the patient's prior podiatric visits, active diagnoses, vascular study results, recent imaging, current medications, and diabetic foot risk classification into a concise pre-visit summary. You know whether this is a routine nail care visit or a complex wound follow-up before the patient walks in.
You examine, Eluve documents
Focus entirely on your patient — the vascular assessment, neurological exam, biomechanical evaluation, or procedure at hand. Eluve captures the encounter in the background and generates structured documentation, identifies qualifying diagnoses for routine foot care, and maps procedures to the correct CPT codes. Whether it is a 10-minute nail debridement or a 45-minute surgical follow-up, the note matches the encounter.
Notes, codes, letters — done
Review your completed encounter note, confirm suggested billing codes with appropriate Q-modifiers, generate referral letters to specialists, produce procedure reports, and print patient-friendly discharge instructions — all from the same encounter. Sign off in under a minute and move straight to your next patient.
Better notes mean fewer denied claims and less unpaid work
Podiatry billing is one of the most modifier-heavy specialties in medicine. The gap between what you do and what gets reimbursed often comes down to documentation — and that gap costs practices tens of thousands per provider each year.
More
complete documentation per visit
When the ambient scribe captures the full encounter — every condition addressed, every clinical decision, every procedure — your documentation supports the true complexity of each visit without extra work.
Fewer
denied claims
Documentation that captures the clinical reasoning, medical necessity, and payer-specific detail from the start means fewer gaps for payers to deny on — and less time spent on appeals.
3x
More qualifying conditions captured per visit
When documentation captures every qualifying systemic condition — not just the chief complaint — practices see significantly more claims approved for routine foot care and higher-accuracy coding.
3 hrs
Saved per clinician per day
Less time on notes, procedure reports, and modifier lookups means you leave the clinic on time — or see the extra patients that were backing up your schedule.
If you ever get audited, your notes are ready
Podiatry is among the most audited specialties by Medicare. Routine foot care documentation, Q-modifier justification, and procedure notes are frequent audit targets. Eluve structures every note so it holds up under scrutiny.
Qualifying Condition Documentation
Every routine foot care claim is backed by documented vascular findings, neurological exam results, and the specific Class A or Class B findings that justify the Q-modifier — the exact elements Medicare auditors look for first.
Procedure Note Completeness
Operative and in-office procedure notes include pre-op diagnosis, anesthesia type and dose, technique, findings, specimens, complications, and post-op instructions — meeting the documentation standard for any audit or peer review.
Audit-Ready Clinical Reasoning
Auditors check whether your note shows the medical decision-making to support the billed E&M level. Eluve documents the data reviewed, diagnoses considered, and risk assessed for every encounter.
Frequency and Medical Necessity Tracking
Eluve tracks the date of last service to ensure nail debridement claims respect the 61-day frequency rule and that each visit documents ongoing medical necessity — preventing clawbacks from retrospective audits.
HIPAA-Compliant by Default
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Eluve is SOC 2 Type II certified and operates under a BAA with every practice. Your patient data is never used to train AI models.

Right heel pain, worse with first steps in the morning, progressively worsening over 6 weeks.
History of Present Illness
45-year-old female presenting with a 6-week history of right heel pain. Pain is sharp, rated 7/10, localized to the plantar medial calcaneal tubercle. Worse with first steps in the morning and after prolonged standing. Partially improves with activity, then worsens again at end of day. Patient is a nurse who stands 10+ hours per shift. Tried OTC arch supports and ibuprofen 400mg PRN with minimal relief. No history of trauma. No numbness or tingling. No prior heel pain. BMI 31.2.
Examination
Gait: antalgic, favoring right forefoot strike to avoid heel loading. Inspection: mild pes planus bilaterally, no erythema or ecchymosis right heel. Palpation: exquisite tenderness at right plantar medial calcaneal tubercle. Mild tenderness along proximal plantar fascia. No tenderness at Achilles insertion. Negative squeeze test (calcaneal stress fracture). Range of motion: ankle dorsiflexion limited to 5 degrees with knee extended (gastrocnemius equinus). Subtalar joint ROM within normal limits. Neurological: intact sensation bilateral feet. Tinel's sign negative at tarsal tunnel.

Weight-bearing lateral radiograph, right foot: small plantar calcaneal enthesophyte (heel spur). No stress fracture. Normal calcaneal pitch angle.
Assessment
1. Plantar fasciitis, right foot (M72.2) 2. Pes planus, bilateral (M21.40) 3. Equinus deformity, bilateral — gastrocnemius tightness (M21.379)
Plan
1. Night splint — posterior dorsiflexion night splint, right foot, to be worn nightly 2. Stretching protocol — gastrocnemius and plantar fascia-specific stretches, demonstrated in office, 3x daily 3. Prefabricated orthotic insoles with medial arch support dispensed today 4. Naproxen 500mg BID x 14 days with food 5. Activity modification — supportive footwear at all times, limit barefoot walking 6. If no improvement in 4–6 weeks, will proceed with corticosteroid injection (dexamethasone 4mg/1mL with 2mL 0.5% bupivacaine, plantar medial approach) 7. Follow-up in 4 weeks to reassess 8. Discussed custom orthotics as next step if prefabricated insoles insufficient

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Eluve is purpose-built for podiatric workflows, trained on the terminology, note formats, and clinical patterns unique to podiatry. It understands vascular and neurological exam findings, biomechanical assessments, wound staging, diabetic foot risk classifications, and procedure documentation — so your notes reflect how podiatrists actually practice.
Eluve captures every component of the diabetic foot exam as you perform it — Semmes-Weinstein monofilament results by site, pedal pulse grading, skin and nail findings, and wound measurements including length, width, depth, and tissue type. It automatically classifies the CDFE risk category and links findings to the qualifying diagnoses and Q-modifiers that Medicare requires.
Yes. Eluve captures biomechanical findings discussed during the encounter, including foot type classification, range of motion at key joints, gait deviations, and orthotic recommendations. These details are structured into the note with the clinical reasoning that supports treatment decisions, from conservative management to surgical planning.
