Healthcare information systems vendor Change Healthcare and clinical natural language processing (NLP) software firm Health Fidelity are working together to integrate NLP and machine-learning technology into risk-adjustment coding.
Together, Change Healthcare and Health Fidelity will offer a single software for the various steps involved in risk-adjustment coding, including chart retrieval, analysis, and submission.
The incorporation of analytics and artificial intelligence into risk adjustment may improve the efficiency of identifying billing codes and ultimately translate into more precise reimbursement, according to the companies. The technology will also allow the companies to tailor risk-adjustment coding to distinct customer needs.
