Work processed after carries this change.
The autocoder now codes Evaluation and Management (E/M) encounters. This covers office visits (99202-99215), hospital inpatient and observation care (99221-99239, including same-date admit and discharge 99234-99236), and emergency department visits (99281-99285).
How E/M leveling works. The level is never picked by the language model. The model extracts the evidence (medical decision making elements, time statements, encounter setting) with citations that are verified against the chart text word for word. A deterministic rule engine then computes the level from the verified evidence, following the AMA MDM table and the CMS time rules. A fabricated or unverifiable quote is discarded like a missing one.
What you will see:
What to look out for: E/M encounters that used to go to your coders untouched now arrive coded, with the evidence cited. Held charts carry named alerts that explain the reason. The refusal behavior is deliberate: a chart the system cannot support with cited evidence is left for a human, never guessed.
