Questions to ask any Autonomous Medical Coding vendor

Every vendor in this category demos well. These are the questions that separate a product that will work on your volume, payer mix, and staff from one that works in the sales deck. Take them into the demo.

1
What automation rate do you hit on OUR case mix, verified in a pilot, not your best customer's?
2
What is the accuracy on automated charts measured against an independent coding audit?
3
Which service lines and code sets are in scope, and what still routes to human coders?
4
How does the engine explain each code for compliance and payer audits?
5
What happens to our coding staff workflow for the charts you cannot automate?
6
How do you handle payer-specific edits and LCD/NCD policy changes mid-year?
7
What is the per-chart price versus our current cost per chart, all-in?
8
Who is liable when an automated code triggers a payer takeback?
