AI in medical coding refers to the utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to automate the coding process within the healthcare industry. This involves employing advanced software tools that analyze patient data to generate accurate medical codes.
The primary component types of artificial intelligence in medical coding encompass in-house and outsourced solutions. Outsourced solutions involve the delegation of medical coding services to specialized vendors or companies offering AI-powered solutions for medical coding. Various technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and generative AI, are employed in this process. End-users benefiting from these applications include healthcare providers, medical billing companies, and payers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The artificial intelligence in medical coding market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides artificial intelligence in medical coding market statistics, including artificial intelligence in medical coding industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with artificial intelligence in medical coding market share, detailed artificial intelligence in medical coding market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the artificial intelligence in medical coding industry. This artificial intelligence in medical coding market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The artificial intelligence in medical coding market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.74 billion in 2024 to $3.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing healthcare data volume, coding accuracy and efficiency, stringent regulatory requirements, revenue cycle management optimization, integration with electronic health records (hers).
The artificial intelligence in medical coding market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to natural language processing (nlp) advancements, continuous changes in healthcare coding standards, telehealth expansion, ai-driven clinical documentation improvement (cdi), increasing demand for healthcare analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include healthcare industry digitization, automated coding assistance, coding quality improvement, interoperability with electronic health records, risk adjustment coding solutions.
The forecast of 14.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.2% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for U.S. healthcare administration by restricting access to Artificial intelligence(AI)-powered coding automation systems and NLP-based billing accuracy tools imported from India and Canada, potentially increasing claim denials and raising hospital revenue cycle costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising demand for coding services is anticipated to drive growth in the artificial intelligence (AI) in medical coding market. Medical coding involves translating healthcare diagnoses, procedures, and services into standardized alphanumeric codes, which are crucial for accurate billing, insurance claims, and reimbursement processes. By integrating AI, the coding process becomes more efficient, accurate, and adaptable, benefiting healthcare providers, medical coders, and enhancing patient care. For example, in 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an 8% growth in employment for medical coders, reflecting the increasing demand for these services. Consequently, the expanding need for coding services is fueling growth in AI-driven medical coding solutions.
Prominent companies engaged in artificial intelligence in the medical coding market are at the forefront of developing innovative technologies, exemplified by Natural Language Processing (NLP), to enhance contextual understanding within patient conversations. NLP enables machines to interpret human-generated spoken or written data by recognizing the context within which words are used. In March 2023, Liguamatics, a UK-based software company, launched the Healthcare Product Suite, a solution designed to transform unstructured electronic health record data into actionable patient insights. Leveraging NLP, this suite extracts valuable information from unstructured data sources such as EHRs, patient portals, and call center notes. Linguamatics' NLP Data Factory offers scalable and automated NLP transformation for various healthcare applications, supporting the analysis of a wide range of healthcare data. Wolters Kluwer's Health Language Data Interoperability Solution further allows organizations to harmonize structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data from diverse sources in the healthcare domain.
In March 2023, XpertDox LLC, a US-based healthcare data analytics company, partnered with EMPClaims, a US-based provider of end-to-end medical billing services, to transform medical coding through AI-powered technology. This collaboration leverages XpertDox's autonomous coding solution, XpertCoding, to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the medical coding process, streamlining claims processing for EMPClaims' clients. By automating complex coding tasks, the partnership aims to reduce errors, speed up reimbursement, and enhance overall productivity in medical billing.
