Nym, founded in 2018, builds an autonomous medical coding engine for the healthcare revenue cycle. The system uses AI purpose-built for clinical language and coding standards, and performs coding autonomously across inpatient and outpatient settings. It supports six specialties: emergency medicine, radiology, outpatient surgery, outpatient visits, inpatient professional services and urgent care. The engine codes millions of encounters annually for health systems and physician groups including Inova, Ochsner Health, Genesis HealthCare System and Henry Ford Health.
The technical work centres on Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) technology, which combines machine learning with rules-based clinical ontologies. The approach interprets clinical context, applies coding standards and produces a traceable rationale behind every code assigned. Relevant domains include natural language processing, computational linguistics, rules-based ontology design and medical coding automation. Nym is recognised as a top performer by KLAS Research in autonomous medical coding.
Reported outcomes from deployments include up to 65% lower coding costs, up to a 50% decrease in discharged-not-final-billed volume and up to 10% more revenue per encounter. The company is backed by venture capital.
Nym operates from headquarters in New York City, with research and development in Tel Aviv. The team is interdisciplinary, spanning physicians, medical coders, computational linguists, mathematicians, engineers and healthcare operators.
