How AI-powered systems can help physician groups improve coding – and earn more

AI-based systems providing real-time coding guidelines can boost revenue and ensure compliance in physician offices, says Dr. Bruce Cohen, former CEO at OrthoCarolina. The firm uses Calm Waters AI from vendor MontecitoPLUS, designed to assign and suggest appropriate billing codes based on physician documentation, helping identify potential issues before they reach billing stages. Cohen dismissed fears the system threatened coder jobs, instead seeing it as a tool to enhance precision and productivity while mitigating the risk of audits.
