Medical Coding solutions for athenaOne®
Coding support for how you operate
Every practice handles coding differently. Some want to hand the work off to outside specialists. Others want to keep it in-house and help staff move faster. athenaOne supports both approaches with full service, athenaOne Medical Coding and AI-powered Express Coding.
When medical coding slows down,
the revenue cycle feels it
Backlogs, staffing gaps, and changing requirements can affect claim timing, staff productivity, audit readiness, and financial visibility. Coding should be easier to manage, track, and complete — no matter who owns the work.
Keep claims moving
Address the gaps and handoffs that can keep completed encounters from becoming claims.
Simplify your workflows
Replace disconnected steps with coding support built into athenaOne workflows.
Choose the model that matches your operating needs
Outsourced, full-service
Medical Coding
Let certified coding teams manage eligible coding work, from documentation review through claim creation and coding-related denial support.
Embedded, AI-powered
Express Coding
