Spring is when October 2027 gets written. Almost nobody in coding operations reads it then.
Read the latest issue onlineThe MediCodio AI Newsletter
Coding rules, payer policy, and CMS edits change all year while your team works through the chart queue. The MediCodio AI newsletter tracks what changed and what it means for your coding and billing work. Get short weekly updates, a monthly deep dive, or both.
The MediCodio AI product
MediCodio AI is an AI medical coding platform that works chart by chart. AutoPilot codes complete charts on its own. When the documentation is thin or contradictory, the chart goes to CoPilot, where a certified coder reviews and finalizes the codes.
As each claim is built, MediCodio AI checks every code against NCCI edits, MUE limits, and LCD/NCD coverage. Each code also shows the chart passage and the guideline behind it.
If you want people alongside the software, MCaaS gives you fully managed coding by certified coders, assisted by CODIO AI. Expert Services covers coding, staffing, auditing, and CDI. MediCodio AI works across 35+ specialties in production today.
