Computer Assisted Coding Pricing Overview

From group practices to multi-facility health systems, our Computer-Assisted Coding helps maximize the performance of your coding operations with improved throughput and quality.

CAC technology accurately generates medical codes directly from clinical documentation, allowing healthcare organization to improve compliance with payer and quality reporting requirements while also improving their bottom line. CAC doesn’t eliminate medical coding experts from the process; coders must still review and revise codes identified by the CAC software and cross-check them against standards before they are assigned. It does, however, make coders more effective and their coding more accurate.

An effective CAC program can positively impact the coding process in five key areas:
Performance – Coders don’t have to chase down information or lose valuable time identifying charts that need coding. When coupled with the reduction in manual entry points, the result is accelerated performance of the coding team.
Correctness – Because it is AI, natural language processing (NLP), and clinical language understanding (CLU) CAC software can “understand” the context of the clinical documentation, allowing it to more accurately select codes which in turn improves correctness and reduces denials.
Consistency – Unlike humans, knowledge is built into CAC and it never tires, which means codes are generated consistently regardless of the volume of charts it must analyze.
Transparency – CAC’s audit trails provide transparency and rationale behind coding decisions, which helps increase the trust factor.
Compliance – Regulatory and payer compliance are built into CAC systems.
