Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system retroactively update a record with a new code. The method includes determining the new code that is introduced into a medical coding system. The method includes determining a first patient having a first patient record including the new code. The method includes determining a correlation between the new code and an existing code. The existing code was available prior to the new code being introduced. The method includes determining a second patient having a second patient record including the existing code. The method includes determining whether the second patient is a candidate to have the second patient record retroactively updated with the new code based on a similarity analysis with the first patient. As a result of the second patient being confirmed the candidate, the method includes updating the second patient record with the new code.
