I just watched a live video you did about whether or not AI will take over. I take my test in about a month so that was a concern so thank you for easing some of my fears. I'm a little excited now to have tools that can help me be more accurate. Now, bc of my own medical issues, I'm going to try to find an audio version of the ICD guidelines so I don't strain my eyes reading.
As a beginning point, this seems to be a great place to be. It strikes me, though, that legal issues would be a great stumbling block to implementation. Specifically, if the machine makes a mistake, who is held culpable? I cannot imagine that the AI creators would be willing to take the financial hit in those situations. Have any legal decisions been made regarding liability been considered?
It's interesting that he mentioned health networks in Florida who are begging for more medical coders & they're just not out there. I keep hearing that, but it just doesn't stack up against the flood of medical coders on LinkedIn who desperately need a job and can't find work. What's the disconnect between prospective employers & unemployed coders? This seems to be a growing problem that never gets adequately addressed.
There’s a gazillion jobs out there for medical coders, but with experience and it’s so depressing applying for jobs with my CPC-A an no coding experience.
I found what he was saying as kind of hypocritical. "We want to lower costs" ie, remove the cost of having to pay all the people to do medical coding. By being able to chart 15 different doctor's offices you are taking away 15 potential jobs. Which maybe isn't a bad thing. I think technologies are making healthcare MORE expensive. From my experience working in healthcare, hospitals don't invest in their employees but will invest in technologies that "help" but actually just create more work. I have recently looked into studying medical coding but I a reason why I was interested in medical coding is to be able to use my brain to read charts and code... I don't want to work in an industry where AI is going to take the thinking out of it.
If the EHR software can generate medical codes, what is the need for manual coders? I am not talking about AI coder, I mean Epic and other EHR software already generates the codes
Great question! While it's true that EHR software like Epic can generate medical codes, these systems are not foolproof and often require a human touch to ensure accuracy. Coding is not just about assigning codes; it's about understanding the clinical context, the nuances of the guidelines, and ensuring compliance with payer policies. EHRs can make mistakes, overlook nuances, or lack the ability to adapt to complex clinical scenarios. Human coders play a crucial role in auditing, refining, and validating the codes, which can directly impact reimbursement and compliance. So, even as technology advances, there's still very much a need for skilled, manual coders.
Is it possible to get more then one medical coding certificaiton? I want to get as many as possible. How would i go about doing it? Im starting the classes for medical coding in august.
Retired Coder here. Knowing the guidelines for E&M isn't that difficult, why would anyone need AI. Sometimes technology makes life a little more difficult.
Hello maim Hope you are fine Actually maim I completed my b.pharm in India and work in one of medical coding company and I am cpc pass so can I work in USA as a medical coder And what is eligibility criteria in USA for medical coder job for indian student Pls reply maim when you are free
I believe AI will help like the editing or encoders for quicker access to dx and CPT codes because still need medical coders to convert the notes for patient medical details from the provider. AI system I wonder will be used by payers and if not correct and match dx & cpt may lessen payment. Also AI systems have a lot of bias and untruths added to it..providers & coders will need to be aware. AI cannot replace critical thinking skills of a human brain of different patient scenarios. I wonder if physician will be required to use it to enhance their treatments; searching for meds or proper xray selection. I heard in third world counties are using AI and chabot for treating patient since short of doctors there.
It's understandable to have concerns about AI, especially as technology evolves. While AI is making strides in many fields, including healthcare, it's important to remember that medical coding involves complex decision-making that often requires human understanding, contextual knowledge, and interpretive skill. AI can assist and make certain tasks quicker, but it's unlikely to completely replace the need for skilled human coders in the foreseeable future. Technology often creates new roles and opportunities as well, so staying adaptable and continually learning will help ensure your ongoing relevance in the field. Keep on coding on!

Emily D Baker discussed this very topic, legal issues with AI. I find it interesting and concerning, but im hopeful humans will figure it out.
This is a great way to get quick input and some direction when coding.

It's 100% employer unwillingness to train and only wanting coders with a higher level of understanding and expertise.
@@ContempoCoding Indeed Victoria! This has been my experience. Kudos for shining a light on this employer hypocrisy

The sky's the limit. You can get 1 or 20, however many you want to study and pay for.

which coding is difficult and needs AI help?

I’m very concerned that AI might take over medical coding. I’ve seen it touted for potentially replacing coders.
