Evidence-Linked Medical Coding Coders Can Trust
A production coder workspace plus an explainable, human-gated AI coding assist where every suggested code traces back to the chart.
The number, kept honest.
The challenge.
Chart coding was manual, slow and costly, with throughput capped at a few dozen charts per coder per day and quality dependent on individual judgment. Leadership wanted AI leverage without surrendering auditability: coders and auditors had to be able to see why every code was assigned. Generic LLM coding was a non-starter, because an unexplained code is unbillable and unauditable.
The approach.
A production coder workspace with role-based assign/code/review/audit, real-time collaboration and full audit logging.
An autonomous-coding pipeline: OCR → clinical NLP entity extraction → ICD-10/CPT mapping grounded on clinical ontologies (UMLS/SNOMED) → an LLM coder with confidence scoring, hallucination detection and evidence-linking, so every code points back to the exact chart text.
A three-model pipeline (pre-validation → coding → an independent reviewer model) with a human accept/edit gate on every output.
What shipped.
A deployed coder workflow application (in production), plus a working autonomous-coding POC running with a launch design partner — including the confidence/evidence-linking layer and the independent-reviewer loop.
Start with the AI work that moves the number. Keep the proof built in.
Start with Strategy, Transformation, or Fluency; use Quick Audit when the first need is an independent read on what is already running.
