AI Medical Coding Assistance Cost Calculator
AI coding assistance reads clinical documentation and suggests ICD/CPT codes for a certified coder to confirm. It's input-heavy (the full note) with a compact, structured output (the codes).
Suggesting codes from ~5K-token documentation, 3,000 encounters a day.

Why this number isn't obvious
Because you feed the whole note in for a short list of codes out, input price dominates and a cheaper model is attractive. The ROI comes from coder throughput and fewer denials, so the AI spend is small relative to the revenue-cycle upside.

Frequently asked questions
Does AI replace certified coders?+
No — it suggests, coders decide. It speeds review and catches omissions, but final coding accountability stays with certified staff.
Why is input cost the driver?+
You send the entire clinical note (thousands of tokens) to get back a short code list. Input tokens vastly outnumber output tokens, so input pricing sets the cost.
