How Arintra's Coding AI Helped Mercyhealth Boost Revenue by 5%

 Since adopting Arintra’s AI platform for medical coding in 2023, Mercyhealth has seen a 5.1% rise in revenue and a 50% decline in its days in accounts receivable. The AI-powered platform automates coding, spots documentation gaps and generates claims tailored to specific payers.

With hospitals facing ongoing financial pressures, including rising costs and declining reimbursement rates, they’re looking for tools that not only improve efficiency — but also increase revenue.

Mercyhealth seems to have found a tool that is accomplishing both feats for its health system.

The system, based in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, has six hospitals and 85 primary and specialty care clinics. In 2023, it began using Arintra’s platform, which uses AI to automate coding and identify missed opportunities for reimbursement — and since then, Mercyhealth said it has seen a 5.1% jump in revenue.

Top Features to Evaluate in AI Medical Coding Solutions

Image
Healthcare organisations are rapidly adopting medical coding AI to address rising claim denials, staffing shortages, and increasing documentation complexity. As artificial intelligence matures, not all solutions deliver the same level of accuracy, explainability, or revenue impact. Selecting the right AI medical coding software requires evaluating features that go beyond basic automation. Below are the most critical capabilities healthcare leaders should assess when investing in AI in medical coding . 1. True Autonomous Coding Capability Many platforms labeled as AI medical coding tools are still heavily dependent on human coders. They assist with suggestions but stop short of full automation. A high-maturity solution should: Independently analyze full clinical documentation Generate complete ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, and E/M codes Operate without manual intervention for the majority of encounters Arintra is an example of a next-generation platform built specifically for autonomous medic...

Medical Coding Audits: Catching Errors Before They Cost You

Many hospitals only audit a small fraction of their coded encounters, then bill the rest on faith. This approach creates blind spots. Yet it remains the standard practice for coding compliance: sample a small portion, extrapolate to the whole, and discover problems only after payers send back denials. Medical coding audits–systematic reviews of clinical documentation and code assignment to ensure accuracy and compliance–have traditionally functioned as reactive measures. In a healthcare environment where  margins are thin  (especially for rural and smaller systems) and payer scrutiny  continues  to intensify, reactive auditing leaves money on the table. Medical coding audits don’t have to work this way.  When powered by generative AI technology, audits can turn compliance into a revenue driver. The avenue for this involves moving away from reactive sampling to continuous validation, from finding errors to preventing them. But to appreciate what’s possible, it’s ...

Think All Autonomous Medical Coding Solutions Provide Similar Benefits?

Autonomous medical coding solutions are transforming revenue cycle management—delivering revenue uplift, reducing denials, and shortening A/R days. But did you know that an advanced, holistic solution also… Improves Clinical Documentation (CDI) Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) is critical, but hamstrung by process inefficiencies and data limitations. An advanced autonomous medical coding solution provides databased, actionable feedback on documentation inconsistencies and gaps for each provider. These insights enable providers to document with greater specificity, ensuring continuous improvement in clinical documentation.
