Abstract	Choosing diagnosis codes is a non-intuitive operation for the practitioner. Mistakes are frequent with severe consequences on healthcare evaluation and funding. French physicians have to assign a code for everything they do and they are not spared with these kinds of errors. We propose a tool named REFEROCOD to support the medical coding task in order to minimize errors without losing time, by suggesting a list of codes in accordance with the physician activities and of the patient medical context. The proposed method uses probabilistic knowledge and indicates the probability to have a proper diagnosis code considering the realized procedure, age, sex and other information available in the discharge abstract.
