The value of Artificial Intelligence is often understated and also overstating the same is quite difficult.. to get in-depth with how AI is actually bringing changes in Medical Coding Automation, we must properly understand what the basics of what Medical Billing and Coding actually are.

The Medical Coding future consists of softwares that are able to take advantage of Artificial Intelligence, these AI powered Medical Coding Softwares would emerge as a new chapter for Healthcare. For example AI can automate a web-based system that's used to analyze a physicians documentation for the treatment and recognize the relevant medical codes from it's pre defined Medical Coding List. The benefits of Medical Coding using AI is that it can automate the detection of predefined medical billings codes used by insurance companies.

On the other hand, the use of AI in Medical Billing, in context to Medical Coding is on similar lines. Just like Medical Coding Softwares, there are Medical Billing Softwares helping the medical biller translate medical codes and turn them into a financial report all while making sure the amount of errors is minimized as much as possible.

Medical Billing or Coding didn't really require automation until recent times due to the drastic increase in the growth and complexity of modern technologies, if you compare Medical Billing in 2018 and Medical Billing in 2019, you would notice a difference in the types of softwares used then and now.

The Medical Billing Projects taken up by Medical Billing companies in 2019 leans more towards the use of Computer-Assisted Coding to identify and extract data from documents and apply the appropriate codes.
