1. Codes drafted from your notes
We draft ICD-10 and CPT codes from your clinical documentation, using current payer rules.
Medical coding services for independent practices
Taiga handles coding, claims, and appeals end to end, so coding is part of your billing service, not a separate vendor. We draft ICD-10 and CPT codes from your clinical notes using current payer rules, with a confidence score on every suggestion. Your physician reviews, edits if needed, and approves every code before submission. Then we submit every claim and fight every denial through to resolution.
Book a demoHow medical coding works at Taiga
Outsourced medical coding at Taiga is one step in the billing work, handled by the same team that submits your claims and works your denials.
2. A confidence score on every code
Each suggested code comes with a confidence score, so your physician can see where to look closely.
3. Physician review and edits
Doctors can edit any code before approving the encounter. Nothing is submitted until your physician approves it.
4. Claim submission
Once the encounter is approved, Taiga submits the claim.
5. Denial follow-up
If a payer denies the claim, we fight the denial through to resolution.
Where AI helps and where people decide
Taiga pairs experienced billers and coders with AI that handles the repetitive fight with payers. The clinical call on every code stays with your physician.
AI drafts the codes
Codes are drafted from your clinical documentation using current payer rules, with a confidence score on every suggestion.

Every generated code is reviewed and approved by your physicians before submission.
Overrides make it better

How coding connects to your EHR
Codes are drafted from the clinical notes your providers already write. Each EHR connects a little differently, so the details live on our integration guides.
