1. 100% Ad-Free Clinical Intelligence & Zero Behavioral Trackers

Unlike legacy coding directories (such as hcpcsdata.com or icd10data.com), LCodeLookup does not host third-party programmatic banner advertisements, does not run ad-network scripts, and does not deploy cross-site tracking cookies. Your clinical inquiries and research sessions are never monitored to serve targeted ads, nor is your browsing behavior sold to advertising brokers.

2. Information We Collect (Voluntary Business Inquiries)

We only collect information that you explicitly choose to provide. When you voluntarily request Founder Mode Early Access or register for Clinic Pro, we collect:

• Professional Work Email: Used exclusively to deliver platform access, verify professional status, and communicate major fee schedule updates.
• Clinical Role & State: (e.g. O&P Clinician, Billing Specialist, Clinic Administrator in NY, TX, FL) to ensure relevant state fee notifications.
• Search Volume Metrics: Approximate inquiry counts (e.g. 5 searches) to administer rate safeguards.

We do not collect credit cards, home addresses, or personal phone numbers during visitor or founder mode.

3. Local Device Storage & Edge Isolation (localStorage)

To deliver sub-millisecond keyboard performance without round-trip database queries, your user preferences are stored strictly on your local browser device:

• Jurisdiction State: Your selected state (e.g. lcode_state = "NY").
• Display Theme & Font Scale: Dark/light mode and accessibility font scaling (100%, 115%, 125%).
• Clinical Estimate Tray: Assembly codes added to your local print tray during a session.

This configuration data resides entirely on your device and is never synchronized to external servers.

4. Edge Infrastructure & Technical Telemetry

Our edge network (Cloudflare Workers) processes incoming HTTP requests to deliver static assets and protect against automated scrapers or DDoS attacks. Cloudflare temporarily logs incoming IP addresses and country codes solely for edge rate-limiting and security filtering. These logs are automatically purged. Anonymized usage telemetry via Google Analytics 4 (with IP masking enabled) is utilized strictly to measure uptime and optimize caching for high-volume HCPCS codes.

5. Statutory CMS DMEPOS & Medicaid Data Disclaimer

HCPCS Level II procedure codes, nomenclature, and statutory descriptors are sourced directly from public federal files published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Fee schedules reflect official CMS DMEPOS 2026 releases and official 50-State Medicaid fee publications (such as eMedNY). LCodeLookup serves as an administrative and pricing reference and does not replace official Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) or guarantee claim reimbursement.

6. Your Data Rights & Immediate Removal

You have the right to request immediate deletion of any submitted business contact information or unsubscribe from communications at any time. Simply send an email to privacy@lcodelookup.com with the subject line "Data Removal Request", and your records will be expunged from our lead registry within 24 hours.
