Are you one of those who are curious to know “if Artificial intelligence (AI) will replace you?” If yes, then you are in the right place. AI has created a buzz around the world over the past decade. But is it worth the hype? This article will unravel the truth about whether AI will replace […]
The U.S. medical coding market size was valued at USD 16.4B in 2020; it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3% from 2021 to 2028. Despite promising growth, multiple issues envelop the medical coding sector. Some of the pressing problems include: Management, training and retention of a skilled workforce […]
Automation has revolutionized almost all walks of life, and the healthcare sector also reflects this change. While technological advances in treatment methods and newer drugs are a given constant, another key area in healthcare that has seen huge changes is medical coding. This field used to be an on-site, manual activity in hospitals wherein medical […]
Imagine this future: you have an illness or injury, and walk into your neighborhood medical care center. Aided by computer vision, the center ‘knows’ your entire medical history, as you check in. You’re escorted into an examination room where the doctor walks in, prepped on your specific allergies and health condition. A conversation ensues about […]
Medical Coding is an important part of the healthcare industry. Armies of medical coders work day in and day out to convert medical documentation including diagnoses, prescriptions, surgery orders, medical equipment and other instructions from the medical community into universally accepted alphanumeric codes. This coding kickstarts the billing process, and helps create claims for treatment […]
With increasing use of technology in healthcare, most processes are being streamlined, including medical coding. Managing an expanding volume of patients and sticking to regulations have all become easier. One of the tools that helps with tedious medical coding is MediCodio. MediCodio is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that offers automated coding solutions. MediCodio simplifies the […]
Picture this: You manage a high volume of medical coding on a daily basis, all bills and codes are error-free, your processes are efficient, you submit accurate claims to payers for full reimbursement, and you sustain your revenue cycle. Even the largest of health care facilities and most organized coding departments aspire to achieve this and thus […]
“The patient is bitten by an orca, Initial Encounter.” Can you guess the ICD-10-CM codes for this injury? How long did it take to lookup the medical code? Did you have to switch multiple tabs to identify the correct code? FYI, there are 36 different types of medical ICD-10 codes for injuries caused by underwater mammals. […]
Healthcare facilities rely heavily on their coding teams to ensure they get the maximum reimbursement. However, medical coding is not just matching and entering the code as per the procedure. It requires knowledge across various areas – anatomy, HIPAA, CPT and ICD codes, and modifiers, and the ability to read medical records. With coding being […]
With the increasing complexity in healthcare processes, medical coding has had to keep pace and has done so with the inclusion of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (ML) technologies. These technologies are helping to improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical coding, enabling healthcare providers to more accurately and efficiently diagnose and treat their patients. […]
