Pre-Bill Review for CDI and Coding Teams at Partner Health Systems

Today, we are announcing the next extension of Abridge's clinician intelligence platform: a pre-bill review capability built specifically for clinical documentation integrity (CDI), coding, and revenue cycle teams:
- Compares final coded diagnoses and DRGs against what the clinical documentation supports
- Shows the evidence behind every discrepancy, while the claim is still in the team's hands
- CDI teams retain control over what to hold, correct, or release
"Health systems aren't reimbursed for the care that they deliver. They're reimbursed for the care they document that they delivered. When a clinician and a CDI specialist are working from the same record, the claim ends up matching what actually happened." —Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and Co-Founder, Abridge
Built on the record clinicians are already creating:
- Grounded in the encounter, not the finished chart: Abridge already knows what was said, what was documented, and what carried through to discharge.
- No separate system to stand up: pre-bill review runs on the same platform and clinical record already in place at the point of care.
- Fewer questions returned to clinicians weeks later, when details have to be reconstructed from memory.
- Supports assessment of present-on-admission (POA) status, which affects hospital-acquired condition (HAC) reporting and publicly reported quality scores.
