# Automate Encounter Based Coding

> Automatically generate ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes from clinical encounter context

The Medera Coding API generates ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, HCPCS, SNOMED CT, and LOINC codes from clinical encounter context — each anchored to a quoted note span.

## Quick example

```bash theme={"system"}
curl -X POST https://api.medera.info/api/coding/predict \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "code_systems": ["icd-10-cm", "cpt"],
    "context": {
      "documentId": "doc_abc123"
    }
  }'
```

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "codes": [
    {
      "system": "icd-10-cm",
      "code": "F32.1",
      "display": "Major depressive disorder, single episode, moderate",
      "confidence": 0.92,
      "anchor": {
        "documentId": "doc_abc123",
        "span": { "start": 412, "end": 489 },
        "quote": "Patient reports persistent low mood for 6 weeks..."
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## What you can do

* Encounter-based coding (signed or in-progress note)
* CDI review with documentation gap surfacing
* Revenue cycle sweeps for missed codes
* Population-level coding audits
