The Challenge

Healthcare providers face a dual challenge: managing overwhelming patient documentation and ensuring accurate billing codes. Errors in this process delay reimbursements and result in financial strain. According to a report by the American Medical Association, claim rejections due to incorrect coding lead to millions of dollars in annual revenue losses.
