Computer-Assisted Professional Coding (CAPC)

Overview

Enhance professional coding productivity and code capture.

The AGS AI Platform’s Computer-Assisted Professional Coding (CAPC) module is powered by an industry-leading clinical NLP engine that’s built explicitly for professional-fee coding. It ensures precise coding across all professional specialties, encompassing ICD-10 CM, CPT, HCPCS, modifiers, and professional E&M levels. The module’s integrated workflow simplifies coding tasks and facilitates the abstraction of multiple parameters efficiently.

Computer-Assisted Coding

NLP-Based CPT and E&M Code Automation

Leverages NLP to automatically suggest billable codes from different types of clinical documents.

One-Click Coder Validation and Acceptance

Automatically identifies charts that have potential queries for seamless validation and acceptance.

Always Up to Date

Our clinical content team ensures that all coding guidelines are maintained whenever new codes or rules are released. Additionally, our Clinical NLP engine is always learning and improving based on coder actions

Features

Computer-Assisted Professional Coding Software Features and Capabilities

Intelligent Worklists

Prioritize and group work

Charts are placed into coder work queues upon readiness, paused if awaiting additional information, and automatically returned to the queue upon chart completion for final coding.

Align coder expertise with chart categories

Enhance your team’s efficiency by aligning tasks with individual skills and experience levels. Automatically route charts to team members based on specialty or diagnosis group criteria.

Reassign tasks according to availability

Effortlessly transfer tasks between coders based on their availability and workloads throughout the organization.

Automated and Accurate Coding Suggestions

Ensure comprehensive capture of diagnosis codes

Utilizing advanced Clinical NLP technology and deep knowledge graphs, all possible CPT codes are identified, whether explicitly stated or implied through other treatments, lab results, or medications.

Capture all charges

Every CPT, HCPCS, or relevant charge code is captured across all parts of the documentation, including attachments.

Automatically recommends E&M codes

Evaluation and management codes are automatically suggested based on current criteria, utilizing either total time or pertinent factors to optimize the documented level.

Built-in HCC and RAF Module

Automatically capture HCC categories

The CAPC module automatically aligns the assigned codes for each visit with the relevant HCC category, encompassing both CMS and HHS HCC models.

Continuous RAF score updates year-round

Aggregate coded HCC categories throughout the year, applying disease hierarchies automatically and accurately calculating RAF scores by combining demographics and other parameters across individual encounters, consolidating all visits into a comprehensive risk model.

Actionable, Real-Time Analytics

Assess coder efficiency

Track coder activities, including chart viewing and editing, with precision down to the second. Utilize this data to evaluate hourly and daily productivity, and compare against established baselines and accuracy rates.

Gain insights into coding trends

Analyze the codes utilized by individual physicians, facilities, and coders to understand the services rendered and the specific patient demographics served by your organization.

Identify areas requiring attention

Direct your focus towards coders who require assistance in enhancing productivity or physicians who deviate from typical coding patterns.
