Overview
Challenge
Medical billing is a complex and time-consuming task. The traditional process of manual coding, which relies on human experts to decipher medical documents and assign appropriate diagnosis codes, is prone to errors and inefficiencies. Companies often struggle with inconsistent code assignments, missing out on potential revenue for the Practices.
Solution
We set out to create a tool that could automate and optimize the medical coding process, while ensuring the utmost security and privacy of patient data. Our NLP-powered solution, driven by Amazon Medical Comprehend, takes the grunt work out of coding by automatically identifying diagnosis codes within medical documents. Here’s how it works:
- Document Upload: Users simply upload a medical document into our system. This could be anything from clinical notes to discharge summaries.
- NLP Processing: Our NLP engine, powered by Amazon Medical Comprehend, analyzes the document, extracting and identifying potential diagnosis codes based on the content.
- Billable Code Validation: The system not only identifies codes but also cross-references them with an extensive database to determine if they are billable. This crucial step helps coding teams avoid common pitfalls.
- Custom Report Generation: Users can review the identified codes, make modifications if needed, and generate custom reports for billing purposes.
