Genesis: The Future of Automated Medical Coding

Capture, Code, and Charge in a Single Click

1. What is Genesis, and how does it work?

Genesis is MediMobile’s AI-powered platform that automates the coding process from start to finish. It analyzes your clinical documentation in your EMR in real-time to generate accurate CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) codes, which are critical for billing. 

Genesis uses deep learning to continuously improve, making it more accurate the longer you use it. This automation removes the need for manual charge capture, saving significant time and reducing the chance of human error.

2. What does Genesis automate?

Genesis automates charge creation, CPT and ICD-10 code selection, and MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) measure generation. Instead of relying on manual coding or a coder’s interpretation, Genesis automatically reviews your clinical notes and generates charges and appropriate codes in real-time, streamlining the entire billing process.

3. How does Genesis integrate with my current EMR system?

Genesis seamlessly integrates with most EMR (Electronic Medical Record) systems, using ADT (Admission, Discharge, and Transfer) and MDM (Master Data Management) feeds. It works behind the scenes with your existing documentation and billing workflows, meaning no major changes are required on your end. This allows your practice to quickly adopt Genesis without experiencing workflow disruptions.

4. What is the typical ROI when using Genesis?

On average, practices see a 10-15x return on investment (ROI) within 1-3 months of implementing Genesis. This is achieved through increased revenue from improved coding accuracy, reduced claim denials, and greater efficiency in charge capture. Many practices also see a 30-50k increase in annual revenue per physician, which can be transformative for healthcare providers.

5. How does Genesis ensure coding accuracy?

Genesis uses AI and deep learning models to review clinical documentation, ensuring that the correct codes are selected based on the latest coding guidelines. It continuously learns from each interaction, using a feedback loop to enhance its accuracy over time. This offers the highest level of coding accuracy. Clinicians or coders can provide input by accepting or adjusting the AI-generated recommendations, which helps improve coding precision. 

6. Can Genesis handle specialty-specific coding?

Yes, Genesis is adaptable to different medical specialties. Whether you're in cardiology, dermatology, or emergency medicine, the system learns the specific coding rules for each specialty. It ensures that CPT and ICD-10 codes are applied accurately based on the nuances of your field, reducing the risk of errors and increasing the likelihood of appropriate reimbursement.

7. How long does it take to implement Genesis?

The implementation process for Genesis is efficient and takes about 2-3 weeks. This includes system setup, integration with your EMR, and staff training. MediMobile provides comprehensive support during this process, ensuring that your team is fully equipped to start using Genesis from day one.

8. Does Genesis reduce coder workload?

Yes, Genesis reduces coder workload by up to 75%. By automating routine coding tasks, it frees up your coders to focus on more complex cases that require human expertise. This allows your team to be more productive and focus on higher-value activities such as auditing or resolving denied claims.

9. How does Genesis handle audits?

Genesis simplifies audits by providing real-time, transparent coding records. It tracks every interaction and adjustment made during the coding process, making it easy to review the audit trail. This allows for quick and insightful reviews, ensuring compliance with coding standards and reducing the risk of financial penalties.

10. Will Genesis eliminate coding errors?

While no system can guarantee zero errors, Genesis significantly reduces coding mistakes by automating the most error-prone parts of the process. The AI’s real-time recommendations help to minimize human oversight errors, and its learning capabilities ensure that the system becomes more accurate over time. Practices using Genesis report a substantial decrease in coding-related claim denials.

11. Can I adjust the AI-generated codes?

Absolutely. Genesis allows clinicians and coders to review AI-generated CPT and ICD-10 codes before finalizing them. You have full control to accept the system's recommendations or make adjustments if necessary. This ensures that the human element remains, especially for complex cases where AI might not fully grasp the clinical context.

12. How much operational cost reduction can I expect?

By automating manual tasks, Genesis helps reduce operational costs by up to 50%. It eliminates the need for additional administrative staff to manually code encounters, reduces time spent on claim rejections, and ensures that fewer resources are wasted on correcting errors.

13. Will Genesis work with multiple providers or coders in my practice?

Yes, Genesis is designed to be used by multiple providers and coders within a practice. It can accommodate different workflows and preferences, ensuring that all team members can seamlessly work with the system while maintaining accurate and consistent coding standards.

14. Does Genesis help with MIPS reporting?

Yes, Genesis automates the generation of MIPS measures, which are critical for Medicare compliance and value-based reimbursement programs. This ensures that your practice remains compliant and maximizes potential reimbursements, without requiring manual MIPS data entry.

15. Is Genesis suitable for large healthcare systems?

Yes, absolutely! Genesis is highly scalable, making it an ideal solution for both small practices and large healthcare systems. Whether you have a single provider or an entire network of hospitals, Genesis can adapt to your needs and grow alongside your organization.

16. Can Genesis help reduce denied claims?

Yes, Genesis significantly reduces denied claims by improving coding accuracy and ensuring that the correct codes are applied the first time. Practices using Genesis have reported a dramatic decrease in denials due to coding errors, which translates into faster payments and more consistent revenue flow.

17. What training is required for my staff?

MediMobile provides comprehensive training tailored to your team’s needs. This includes one-on-one training sessions, video tutorials, and ongoing support. The goal is to ensure that your staff can use Genesis with confidence and efficiency from day one.

18. Does Genesis work in real-time?

Yes, Genesis delivers real-time CPT and ICD-10 code recommendations based on clinical documentation, labs, and diagnostics as the encounter is documented. This means you can instantly generate codes for billing as soon as the patient visit is complete.

19. How does Genesis impact clinical documentation?

Genesis enhances clinical documentation by ensuring that all relevant details are accurately captured and coded. This not only improves patient care but also maximizes reimbursement by ensuring that no billable service goes unnoticed.

20. Will Genesis work on mobile devices?

Yes, Genesis is compatible with mobile devices, allowing clinicians and coders to access the system anytime, anywhere. This flexibility makes it easier to review and approve codes while on the go or during patient rounds.
