Change is power: Empowering professional fee coding automation

The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change

One of the biggest challenges any organization faces is change. And the truth about change is that it’s hard because the status quo usually seems good enough.

Professional fee coding is no different. To improve efficiency for your organization, transformation requires empowerment on all levels: coders, physicians and senior leadership.

To help you avoid the common pitfalls, like getting stuck using paper forms and manual processes, Solventum offers solutions that can empower your teams to make lasting organizational improvements.

Nothing touches [Solventum’s] product as far as efficiency and usability. [The Solventum team is] also very flexible and willing to work with you as a client to fine tune the process to work for you.

The power of change

No matter the setting, Solventum has the professional coding solution for you. 

The 3M™ 360 Encompass™ Professional System is the industry’s first encounter-based professional coding solution. The technology brings the power of Solventum’s computer-assisted coding (CAC), physician query capability and reporting to coding and billing. It empowers professional coders to improve productivity, accuracy, reconciliation and compliance. 

The 3M CodeAssist System is a stand-alone, web-based solution that examines the full text of a physician’s report and automatically assigns accurate CPT® and ICD codes. Many of the nation’s top physician practices, billing companies and multi-specialty clinics use 3M CodeAssist as the foundation of their coding operations. 

Solventum also offers business process advisory services that provide qualified experts to help healthcare organizations manage change, build coder competence and set the stage for success

Empower your current systems with flexibility

Solventum understands there are multiple electronic health records (EHRs) in use today and that health care organizations often rely on diverse billing systems. To fit flexibly into such an environment, Solventum’s powerful professional coding solutions can receive professional data from most EHR systems, assist the professional coding workflow and then send final codes back to a professional billing system—all in a synchronized manner.

In addition, evaluation and management (E/M) coding is appropriately tied to the documentation in a demonstrable way, resulting in more consistent and accurate E/M level assignment.
