Undercoding Leaves Revenue Behind
Missing legitimate codes or failing to capture documentation-supported specificity leaves revenue on the table. Defaulting to unspecified codes is technically valid — but reimbursed below what the chart supports.
The diagnosis, procedure, and specificity that separates a paid claim from an audit are almost always in the clinical documentation. The problem isn't missing information — it's extracting it accurately at volume with the human bandwidth most coding departments don't have.
Missing legitimate codes or failing to capture documentation-supported specificity leaves revenue on the table. Defaulting to unspecified codes is technically valid — but reimbursed below what the chart supports.
Assigning codes not supported by documentation creates audit exposure and recoupment liability that can dwarf the revenue it generated. The failure mode runs both directions — and the second is harder to undo.
Encounter volume grows. Experienced coders are expensive, hard to hire, and harder to retain. Backlogs delay claims and extend AR days. Specialty coding — chemotherapy, time-based E&M, surgical modifiers — varies in accuracy even in well-managed departments.
The engine surfaces the right codes, the right specificity, and documentation gaps before the claim goes out. Specialty modules handle what general AI coding gets wrong.
AI coding accuracy is one of the most misleadingly presented metrics in health IT. Here's what the number actually means — so you implement with the right expectation.
92% accuracy means: when the AI assigns a code above its confidence threshold, it matches what an experienced coder would assign 92% of the time. It's calibrated to be accurate when confident — not to guess across the board.
It doesn't mean 92% of encounters are coded without human review. Encounters below the confidence threshold route to coder review — a deferred code reviewed by a human beats a wrong code submitted confidently.
Encounters meeting the high-confidence threshold typically run 40–70% of volume, depending on specialty and documentation quality. That's what gives your coding team their time back. Complex cases still get human review — by the coders whose expertise they actually need.
Confidence scoring is calibrated to documentation quality — ambiguous or incomplete encounters score lower and route to coder review. The threshold is tuned to your accuracy requirements and coder capacity, not a fixed number.
Organizations that implement expecting accurate automation of the high-confidence portion get the results. Those expecting full automation discover the gap between the marketing and the clinical reality. We build for the first.
Each result is tied to a specific coding failure — a backlog, conservative E&M habits, specialty coding too complex for a general engine. See what each system fixed.
Talk to Us About Your Coding BuildEvery standard is scoped during discovery and built into the platform — not checked off after.
Applied to every data store, transmission, and access control in the coding platform and NLP pipeline.
Standards that determine how diagnoses, procedures, and supplies are represented in claims — and the guidelines governing how they're assigned.
Fee schedule and prospective payment systems governing reimbursement across professional, outpatient, and inpatient settings.
Shapes how confidence thresholds, audit sampling, and documentation queries are designed to withstand review.
Required for a coding platform processing PHI through an NLP pipeline.
Transparency and audit trails for every AI-assigned code, so decisions stay explainable and reviewable.
Missed specificity, undetected gaps, E&M levels coded conservatively by habit — that's where revenue leaks. AI coding fixes the high-volume portion. Thirty minutes. No pitch.

Not in any implementation we've seen work well. It replaces the high-volume, routine portion — encounters where documentation clearly supports specific codes, typically 40–70% of volume. Complex cases, specialty coding, and audit review still require experienced coders. Those coders get their time back.
It routes to human review rather than guessing. Ambiguous, incomplete, or inconsistent encounters score lower confidence and go to coder review. A wrong code submitted confidently is worse than a deferred code reviewed by a human.
The model launches already trained on your historical documentation and validated against coder-assigned codes. First-month accuracy on high-confidence encounters typically runs 85–88%. By month three, 90–93%. Improvement continues gradually from there.
Depends on the specialty. For oncology, surgery, behavioral health, emergency medicine, and radiology — yes. For others, we assess during discovery and tell you honestly whether the general model handles it or specialty-specific training is needed.
We've integrated with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, Meditech, and several specialty EHRs, as well as standalone coding platforms. Whether we pull from the EHR, an intermediary system, or a document management platform is determined during discovery.
You do. The trained model, the training pipeline, and the fine-tuning data derived from your documentation all transfer to your ownership at project close. No per-encounter licensing fees.
