Coding Assistant

Codes and billing items

Proposes the item with its criteria and the lines in the note that meet them. The clinician chooses and claims.

Waits for a clinician

What Coding Assistant does

  • In hospital, asks the clinician the specificity question that the coder would otherwise ask weeks later, before discharge.
  • In general practice, proposes the MBS item with its descriptor, its frequency rules and the evidence in the note for each criterion.
  • Flags a note that supports a lower item as readily as one that supports a higher.
  • Records the question, the answer and the choice, so the audit trail is complete.

Guardrails

  • Assign a diagnosis or procedure code. It asks the question that lets a coder assign it.
  • Select the billing item. It proposes; the GP selects.
  • Optimise for revenue. The rules are the descriptor and the frequency rules, nothing else.
  • Submit a claim. Claims go through your practice software under your own credentials.
Who it helps

The clinical coder who no longer has to chase the ward. The GP who wants to bill correctly and prove it. The practice manager who has seen what a Medicare compliance letter does to a fortnight. The health information manager measuring coded-record quality.
