The Future of Medical Coding: AI & Job Security Explore AI's emerging role in healthcare administration, redefining the medical coder's profession, and navigating automation's impact on job security. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com

  2. Current State of Medical Coding 85% 31.8B 8% Average Manual Accuracy Market Projection by 2030 Revenue Cycle Costs For complex cases, human coders typically achieve 80-90% accuracy. The global medical coding market is projected to reach $31.8 billion by 2030, driven by increased healthcare demands. Medical coding accounts for 5-10% of total revenue cycle management costs. Medical coding is essential for accurate billing, data analysis, and research, serving as the backbone of healthcare financial operations. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com

  3. AI's Emergence in Medical Coding Natural Language Processing (NLP) Machine Learning (ML) Interprets and extracts key information from unstructured clinical notes, transforming narratives into coded data. Identifies coding patterns, predicts potential errors, and suggests optimal codes based on vast datasets. Deep Learning Automation Algorithms predict optimal codes from complex, unstructured clinical data, improving accuracy over time. Handles high-volume, repetitive coding tasks, freeing up human coders for more complex work. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com

  4. Benefits of AI Integration Efficiency Accuracy Cost Savings Speed AI processes claims up to 10 times faster than manual review, significantly accelerating the billing cycle. Reduces coding error rates to 1-2% for routine codes, leading to fewer denials and rejections. Lowers operational costs by 15-20% on average through automation and reduced rework. Accelerates the revenue cycle by reducing claims denial rates by an average of 25%, ensuring quicker reimbursements. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com

  5. AI's Limitations and Challenges Ambiguous Documentation Nuanced Context Struggles with physician shorthand and unclear clinical notes, requiring human clarification. Difficulty interpreting complex medical contexts and comorbidities that require human judgment. New Code Sets Ethical Interpretation Requires human oversight for adapting to new code sets, such as ICD-11 updates and annual CPT changes. Cannot interpret intent or ethical considerations, only data patterns, highlighting the need for human review. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com

  6. The Evolving Role of the Human Coder Auditing & Compliance Complex Case Resolution 1 2 Reviewing AI-generated codes for accuracy and adherence to regulatory standards like HIPAA and CMS. Handling intricate cases where AI lacks the necessary context or nuanced judgment. Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) AI Training & Oversight 3 4 Collaborating with physicians to enhance the quality and specificity of clinical documentation. Validating algorithms, identifying biases, and continuously improving AI performance through human expertise. 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com 96000 85521 - 96000 71195 www.miitglobalservices.com
