Physicians spend an average of 90 minutes after hours focused on coding work, according to time and productivity studies.

Provider burnout is a persistent problem in healthcare, and has only been made worse by the added pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this, software and services company athenahealth has rolled out its new Medical Coding solution that aims to ease the administrative burden caused by coding-related work that slows providers down and delays claim submissions.

With the service, athenahealth customers will gain access to coding support via certified specialists who help deliver medical coding within the platform. Communication between the practice and athenahealth’s medical coders is integrated directly into the interface and launches from the provider’s workflow.
