Narrative is ambiguous. Billing cannot be.

When clinical data is ambiguously extracted, automation compounds the error. We prevent that.

Why VMC

Deterministic extraction before financial execution.

Narrative is ambiguous. Billing cannot be.

Evidence-backed

Every code tethered to the exact sentence in the note. Click any code, see the proof.

Deterministic + auditable

90%+ rule-based. Same note, same result, every time. Your compliance team can trace every decision.

Parallel deployment

Runs alongside existing workflows. No process change. No workflow disruption required.

Architecture

What no AI-first coder can promise you.

We can.

REPRODUCIBLE

Same note in, same codes out. Every time.

No sampling variance. No temperature. No drift.

Tested and verified.

AUDITABLE

Every code traces back to a sentence in the note.

No black box. Full decision trace.

ZERO AI DECISIONS

AI proposes. The engine decides. The human confirms.

0% AI-decided.

Architecture

The missing layer in revenue architecture.

Automation assumes the clinical input is stable. It isn't.

We normalize the narrative into code-aligned clinical states before downstream systems execute.

Proof Lab

Where unstable clinical states are contained.

Each artifact demonstrates a failure point that would have propagated downstream.

Denial Prevented — COPD Exacerbation

Assertion Conflict + Tier Guard
Without extractor
Assertion bleed across sections → J44.1 auto-submitted → denial issued → rework triggered.
With extractor
Sentence-scoped negation → tiered conflict → coder review → clean submission.

The note contains conflicting documentation: 'acute exacerbation' in HPI vs 'stable COPD' in assessment. The system flagged this conflict before submission, preventing a certain denial.

These are not optimizations. This is upstream containment — not downstream rework.

Build vs. Buy

We encoded clinical instability rules into a deterministic extraction engine.

  • 574,000+ medical concept mappings
  • 6,000+ abbreviation expansions
  • 50+ ICD family specificity resolvers
  • 851 symptom suppression relationships
  • HCC preservation guard across 8,000+ mappings
  • 90%+ deterministic rule execution
  • Three-layer PHI gate with fail-closed enforcement
  • Schema validation + PHI detection + structural integrity
  • Zero-trust egress architecture
  • BYOR governance overlays: NCCI, modifiers, linkage, custom
  • Error / Warning / Info severity with claim hold logic
  • Versioned + auditable — denial learnings encoded weekly

This engine executes before claims logic, not after.

Versioned. Auditable. Production-tested. Not assembled via prompt orchestration.

PHI Containment

Because extraction is deterministic, PHI is contained at the architecture level — not by policy, by structure.

Because PHI is contained, AI reasoning can safely operate on structured clinical state — without leaking protected data.

Because it is versioned and auditable, AI becomes an assistant, not a liability.
