Where does the 99% figure come from?

On August 13, 2026 the vendor announced a two-year audit by AAPC-certified coders at Professional Consulting Services (PCS), reporting "sustained above 99%" accuracy on a "large sample" of unstated size. PCS is the vendor's channel partner. The vendor's page says PCS is led by AccuCode's COO and was founded by a company advisor, and the same page describes the panel as "blinded, external".

The page's table gives E/M at 98.4% on first pass and 99.6% after adjudication, and cardiovascular surgery at 95.6% and 99.1%. The human baseline beside them is 82.2% (Lam et al., 2018), and the post-adjudication rates are not comparable to that baseline. A 100% result on an internal AAPC practice exam is not a certification.

What does the vendor say the engine does?

The vendor says Medical Coding reads the full patient record, including unstructured notes and handwriting, and links every code to a supporting passage. It describes a seven-stage pipeline that ends in compliance scrubbing and justification binding, a coder interface for rule-routed charts and compliance sampling of typically 1 to 5% of charts. AccuCode CV, a cardiovascular variant, was co-optimized with MedAxiom according to the vendor.

Clinical Quality is described as automated abstraction, calculation and submission of measures for CMS, TJC, NCDR, STS and GWTG registries, plus MIPS and MVP.

Who is behind it?

The About page gives a Little Rock, Arkansas headquarters and engineering in Seattle. Nathan Myers is President and CEO, Scott Roper is COO, Lance Woodson is CTO and Allen Fienberg is CSO. Named relationships are PCS, Baptist Health (a clinical quality partnership announced in December 2025), MedAxiom and ADN.

What do the integration and security pages say?

The medical coding page lists an Epic app, FHIR-based EMR connections through an API, custom HL7 v2 for older systems and CSV import and export. The security page claims SOC 2 Type II, a BAA with every covered customer, US data residency, Microsoft Azure hosting and Drata monitoring of 244 controls. The vendor also says customer data is never used to train a foundation model.

Quotes are per encounter with volume tiers, set by expected volume and specialty mix. The vendor offers a free pilot on 100 of the buyer's own charts under a signed BAA. It puts a pilot at under four weeks on its homepage and initial validation at 60 to 90 days on the coding page, while the About page says about 90 days to production.

The verdict

The pilot suits a health system that wants to see the engine on its own charts before any contract, with a BAA in place from the start. The audit behind the 99% claim was run by the vendor's channel partner, and the vendor lists no outside validation.
