Denial types AI can actually influence
Eligibility and timely filing are not coding-engine problems. Coding denials are. CMS NCCI explains procedure-to-procedure and medically unlikely edits. Vendor software can apply those concepts in pre-bill review; it cannot invent a new NCCI policy.
- Diagnosis–procedure mismatch
- Unbundling / NCCI PTP
- Missing or incorrect modifiers
- Unspecified ICD-10-CM when the note had more detail
What “85% fewer denials” should mean
Health Coder marketing cites denial reduction on preventable coding issues in deployments that also change workflow. Treat any percentage as company-reported until you see your own baseline. The Accuracy Benchmarks page states methodology. Do not promise a payer-level SLA from a blog post.
Human review still matters
Auto-accepting every AI code can create new denial patterns (over-coding). The winning design is AI flag plus coder authority plus an audit trail.
