Nym's engine codes surgical encounters in seconds with zero human intervention. Here's the impact that this can have on your medical coding and revenue cycle teams. ### ![Upwards Trend](https://go.nym.health/hubfs/Upwards%20Trend.svg) ### Scale surgical coding without adding headcount As more surgical volume moves to ASCs and outpatient settings, Nym's engine helps absorb the growth with compute power rather than headcount, keeping coding backlogs in check. ### ![Check mark](https://go.nym.health/hubfs/Check%20mark.svg) ### Check medical necessity for every surgery Nym's engine checks every procedure against AMA and CMS guidelines, NCCI edits, and payer-specific medical necessity policies before it reaches billing, helping catch denial risks early. ### ![documentation icon yellow](https://go.nym.health/hs-fs/hubfs/documentation%20icon%20yellow.png?width=44&height=44&name=documentation%20icon%20yellow.png) ### Keep facility and ProFee coding aligned By coding both components of the encounter from the same clinical documentation, Nym helps maintain consistency across facility and professional claims. ## What is Nym's coding scope in outpatient surgery? Full outpatient surgical coding coverage, configured to your organization's coding philosophy and guidelines, and updated as soon as new guidelines are released. ### Surgical Specialties --- - General surgery - Gastroenterology (GI) - Urology - Orthopedics ### Care Settings --- - Ambulatory surgical centers - On-campus hospital outpatient - Off-campus hospital outpatient - Same-day surgery ### Code Types --- - Facility coding - Professional coding - Single-path coding ### Coding Scope --- - CPT with modifiers - ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes - NCCI edits and medical necessity - Provider attribution capture ![Full Seamless Integration Graphic - Dark](https://go.nym.health/hubfs/Full%20Seamless%20Integration%20Graphic%20-%20Dark.png "Full Seamless Integration Graphic - Dark") *\*encounters that the engine is unable to code with high confidence are routed to human coders* ## How does Nym code an outpatient surgery encounter? From the surgical record to coding and billing, all with zero human intervention. ### ![System or Config Icon Red](https://go.nym.health/hs-fs/hubfs/System%20or%20Config%20Icon%20Red.png?width=44&height=44&name=System%20or%20Config%20Icon%20Red.png) Retrieves the Surgical Record Nym's engine retrieves the complete surgical encounter record, including the History and Physical (H&P), operative report, and pathology report when applicable, directly from the EHR system. ### ![documentation icon yellow](https://go.nym.health/hs-fs/hubfs/documentation%20icon%20yellow.png?width=44&height=44&name=documentation%20icon%20yellow.png) Parses the Complete Chart The engine parses the surgical record, including both structured and unstructured data, and organizes it into the "Nym Standard Chart." ### ![Search icon blue](https://go.nym.health/hs-fs/hubfs/Search%20icon%20blue.png?width=44&height=44&name=Search%20icon%20blue.png) Analyzes the Clinical Narrative The engine uses Nym's Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) technology to analyze the Nym Standard Chart and create a clinical narrative that accurately reflects the surgical record. ### ![Check mark](https://go.nym.health/hubfs/Check%20mark.svg) Assigns Codes and Routes Them to Billing The engine assigns the final codes to the surgical record based on the clinical narrative. Codes are aligned across facility and professional coding workflows, are sent directly to billing, and are accompanied by a fully traceable audit trail. ## Get a Demo of Nym's Engine for Outpatient Surgery ### See how autonomous medical coding works for outpatient surgery.
