TCN’s AI Medical Coding Validation Services add a credentialed human review to codes produced by autonomous or AI-assisted coding systems before claims are submitted. Specialty-specific TCN coders check AI-assigned codes against the documentation, correct errors, and code the encounters your AI system cannot handle on its own, so those claims are still filed on time. TCN tailors the validation protocol to your specialties and workflow, from reviewing every AI-coded chart to reviewing a targeted sample.
Validation and auditing answer different questions. Validation happens before claims go out: TCN coders confirm or correct AI-assigned codes so each claim is submitted accurately. AI Medical Coding Audits & Compliance Reviews look at your AI system’s output as a whole, checking whether documentation supports the codes it assigns and recommending changes to keep the system accurate and audit-ready. The two services can be used separately or together.
FAQs
Q1: Why does AI-generated coding need human validation?
A1: AI can speed up coding, but it can still misread documentation, miss required specificity, or struggle with complex or unusual encounters and new coding guidance. Undercoding loses revenue, and overcoding creates compliance exposure. The organization submitting the claim remains responsible for its accuracy, so a credentialed review before submission helps catch errors while they are still easy to fix.
Q2: What happens to charts our AI system can’t code?
A2: TCN’s specialty-specific coders review the documentation for those encounters and assign the codes themselves, so difficult cases don’t stall in a queue or miss filing deadlines.
Q3: Who performs the validation?
A3: Certified TCN coders who work within the specialty being reviewed. TCN coders must be certified by AAPC, AHIMA, RCCB, or ACMCS, have at least three years of specialty-specific experience within the past five years, pass TCN’s internal coding skills exam, and live and work in the United States. Their work is audited quarterly against a 90% minimum accuracy standard.
Q4: Do you validate every AI-coded chart or only a sample?
A4: Either. TCN can review every AI-coded chart or a targeted sample, and the scope is agreed with you when the engagement is set up.
Q5: How do TCN coders access our records and AI output?
A5: TCN coders can log in securely to your EHR/EMR and work within your system, or use a HIPAA-secure cloud file-sharing service. Access to your AI coding platform’s output is set up during onboarding.
Q6: Are there volume minimums or long-term contracts?
A6: No. TCN does not require minimums, exclusivity, or long-term contracts, and validation is priced per chart.
