Coding that codes itself.
Autonomous Medical Coding interprets clinical documentation and Ambient listening to generate accurate conditions and charges automatically, backed by a transparent audit trail on every code. Your clinicians and certified coders review and approve the results, so they spend less time on routine review and more time on patient care.
The Real Cost of Manual Coding
Coding is time consuming
Manually entering codes while adhering to complex coding guidelines and payer nuances is a roadblock to efficient medical coding today. Miss one piece, and the visit goes into reimbursement review cycles.
The costs add up
The average large hospital writes off 3 to 4% of net revenue to coding-related denials, and coders spend much of their day reviewing charts with entirely predictable patterns.
The result:
Burned-out clinicians
Delayed claims
Revenue left on the table
Coding Automation Fine Tuned for Your System
Autonomous Coding is customized for your health system's workflows and coding operations, with the option to recommend codes at the point of care within Commure Ambient AI or post-visit.
Capture
Clinical documentation from the EHR, combined with Commure Ambient's transcript, set the foundation for recommending codes.
Code
AI generates the full ICD-10, CPT, E&M, and modifier code set, with evidence-linked rationale for each recommendation.
Review & Compare
For point-of-care solutions, providers review code recommendations and rationale before passing them through to billing teams. For post-encounter solutions, we work with health systems to customize the code review process with their coding & billing teams.
Submit
Coded charges flow into the claim, faster and with fewer errors.
Clinicians already using Ambient AI can be live on coding in as little as 10 business days.
Autonomous Medical Coding can be delivered via multiple workflows, both without Ambient AI and as an add-on to Ambient AI.
The Impact
More accurate claims.
Commure surfaces secondary diagnoses and code specificity manual coding often misses, backed by an audit trail on every recommendation.
Faster reimbursement.
Fewer denials and shorter submission times get revenue moving faster.
Time back for your team.
Automated capture frees clinicians from duplicate entry and lets coders review with additional information.
One connected system.
Autonomous Medical Coding links Ambient AI on the front end with Commure RCM on the back end, forming a single chain from conversation to claim.
OBHG, the nation's largest provider of OB/GYNs and customized women's health solutions across nearly 2,000 clinicians and over 200 care sites, rolled out Autonomous Medical Coding.

Autonomous Medical Coding has been eye-opening. It doesn't replace physicians or what we do. Anything that saves us time so we can focus on patient care is an asset.
Dr. Thor's team used to manually enter patient identifiers and re-hunt for codes already documented elsewhere in the chart. Now, coding happens as a byproduct of documentation itself, cutting out the duplicate work and extra clicks that came before.
