Why Nym

Fully autonomous coding

Nym’s engine is NOT an assistant – it automatically codes charts it fully understands with zero human intervention.

Better-than-coder accuracy

Nym’s engine captures all clinical aspects of a chart with unmatched accuracy that helps prevent instances of missed or under-coding, maximizing revenue per chart.

Auto-validation

Each chart goes through an automated, multi-step linguistic, narrative, and clinical validation to ensure that Nym’s engine fully understands the chart and is confident with the coding accuracy. Charts that are not fully validated are flagged for human coders.

Full audit trail for compliance

All successfully coded and validated charts include an audit trail that enables on-demand auditing for validation, compliance and appeals’ basis.

Updated for CMS compliance

Nym’s engine is updated whenever new guidelines are released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and coding incorporates new guidelines the day they take effect. Because Nym’s engine is rules-based and does not require historical data to train on, it is able to stay fully up-to-date and compliant with all guideline changes.

Nym’s engine versus Computer-assisted coding

Nym’s engine

Requires zero human intervention to code charts
No staff training required
Needs only physician notes
Provides audit-ready, traceable documentation for every code it generates
Flexible and scalable

Computer-assisted coding

Designed as a tool to help human coders with their work
Requires special training for staff
Needs additional structured data from physicians
Offers none to little help in understanding why the chart was coded the way it was
Does not alleviate coding scalability constraints
