Over the years, computer-assisted coding (CAC) has proven its ability to boost revenue team productivity and accelerate critical decision-making while reducing denials, missed charges, and low-risk scores. CAC also increases coder productivity and code capture, and enables flexible and scalable coding to increase accuracy, efficiency, productivity, and flexibility.
Indeed, these benefits are why we are seeing a rapid uptick in adoption of CAC on the professional side of the healthcare house. Once reserved primarily for facility-based coding, today’s CAC solutions are stepping up to fill the void created by the chronic coder shortage that is impacting both facility and professional fee coding while helping to maximize the performance of any healthcare organization’s coding operations with improved throughput and quality – increasing coder productivity by 25%-45% and decreasing Discharged Not Finally Coded (DNFC) by between one and three days.
