Computer Assisted Coding (CAC) is changing the coding workflow across all healthcare settings. CAC technology continues to be incorporated into a coder and auditor’s work life. This technology turns the coder into an editor of what the CAC is delivering in the healthcare environment. It’s his/ her responsibility to scan the entire EMR to determine if assigned codes by the CAC are accurate, in context, not duplicated, and that all pertinent information is accounted for. CAC can help to streamline the workflow when implemented following the coding workflow design. Once any gaps in the flow are understood, the CAC can institute a more efficient and consistent process of coding which leads to better revenue on the backend of the revenue cycle process. Some suggest that in the absence of CAC the entire workflow from admission to discharge can cause business processes to exist for as long as 40 days. However, with the implementation of proper CAC, which would include modules for clinical documentation improvement (CDI), the process can be streamlined within a week’s time frame.
The global medical coding market is categorized based on classification system and component.
By classification system: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) was the largest market in 2020. ICD-10 has been employed in the mainstream WHO Member States as the standard for coding diseases in mortality and/or morbidity and is progressing towards implementation in several other Member States.
By component: Outsourcing medical coding was the largest market in 2020. In the US by outsourcing their coding, some organizations have increased their efficiency by more than 25%.
In the United States, medical coding is one of the 20 fastest growing occupations. In the country, more than 90% of independent groups and solo practices have high turnover rates, with more than 80% experiencing difficulty recruiting candidates with experience in ICD-10, value-based care and MACRA (Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act). The electronic health record adoption rate for office-based physicians is nearly 90% and continues to climb, leading to massive coding process overhauls. After the release of ICD-10, facilities faced escalated retirement from coders unwilling to transition from ICD-9, and now, with an average age coder of 54, more mass retirements are coming. It is expected that by 2030, 81.7 million Americans will enroll in Medicare, up from 55 million in 2015, creating a need for increased medical staffing across the healthcare industry.
