Welcome to Medera Medical Coding

Medera Medical Coding generates accurate, defensible codes from clinical context — every code anchored to a quoted note span and reported with calibrated confidence. The engine is behavioral-health-aware — F-code specificity, BH-relevant CPT and E&M, psychotropic RxNorm — but supports the full coding surface for primary care overlap.

Every code returned by the Medera API includes the documentation span that supports it. Suggestions never auto-post — the coder or clinician confirms.

Use cases

Encounter coding
