Autocoding in healthcare refers to the automated process of assigning medical codes to clinical documentation. This term can describe various levels of automation, from computer-assisted coding (CAC) that requires human validation to fully autonomous medical coding solutions that operate with zero human intervention. Because “autocoding” is an ambiguous term used differently across the industry, healthcare providers evaluating coding automation solutions should always ask vendors to clearly define what they mean by “autocoding” and whether their solution requires human intervention before codes are submitted to billing. Nym’s autonomous medical coding engine represents the fully automated category, independently assigning complete and compliant code sets and routing successfully coded encounters directly to billing with zero human intervention.
