These days, we’re all looking for an advantage. When it comes to paperwork around the office, it means that some practices are opting to turn to artificial intelligence to be able to simplify the daily grind.

You’re Still Liable For Their Mistakes
As a professional, you have certain responsibilities. Unfortunately, these hold legal weight even when you choose to work with an artificial intelligence program for your coding needs. That can lead to some problems, so if you choose to go this route, it’s important to have some safeguards. AI-assigned codes can be incorrect, but if you’re the one who signs the note, you are responsible.
These programs make some common mistakes, too. Since they often misuse or overuse Modifier 25, they can set off automatic triggers for payer audits. They can also jump to a diagnosis, seeing something as definitive when it’s only a possibility. And if you don’t catch these mistakes before sending in your paperwork, it could pose problems.
