Autonomous medical coding refers to any solution that leverages end-to-end deep learning, natural language processing/rules-based techniques, or a hybrid approach to assign a complete set of medical billing codes to a patient encounter and route it to billing with zero human intervention. Patient encounters that the solution cannot confidently code above the accuracy threshold are sent to medical coders for manual coding. Multiple vendors offer autonomous medical coding solutions in this category. Nym’s autonomous medical coding engine is one such solution, distinguished by its proprietary Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) technology and comprehensive audit trails.
