AI for home health coding

Your coders read 20 pages to find 12 codes. Oasai reads them first.

Drop a start-of-care referral packet in. Six minutes later your coder has the primary and other ICD-10-CM diagnoses, the OASIS answers the packet supports, and a quote from the page for every code. Review, sign, bill.

The problem

Coding isn't slow because the decisions are hard. It's slow because the reading is.

A start-of-care packet is 10 to 30 faxed pages from three different EHRs. The diagnoses that set the agency's Medicare payment are in there, next to patient questionnaires, resolved conditions, outdated codes from the referring office, and contradictions nobody flagged. A certified coder spends most of the next half hour looking, not deciding.

  • 0:00
    Open the fax.

    Cover, order, discharge summary, H&P, med rec, labs, questionnaire, PT eval. Three of the pages are upside down.

  • 6:00
    Find what the physician actually documented.

    The questionnaire says “Yes” to COPD. The H&P says never smoker. The order says N18.3, which stopped being a valid code in 2020.

  • 18:00
    Choose the primary, sequence the rest.

    Hypertension plus heart failure plus CKD is a combination code. Miss it and the claim is wrong.

  • 31:00
    Cross-check the OASIS. Start the next one.

    At 30 minutes a chart, one coder clears 16 a day. At $25 to $55 a chart, agencies pay for every one of those minutes.

How it works

The model is part of the equation, not the center of it.

Everything that can be checked without a model is checked without one. That's why the output doesn't need re-verifying.

01 · READ

Every page, as an image

Faxes, rotated scans, handwriting, three EHR layouts in one packet. Each finding is recorded with its page, a verbatim quote, who documented it (physician, patient form, lab) and whether it's active, resolved, suspected or denied.

02 · CODE

Against the CMS manual itself

The full OASIS-E2 guidance is in context on every case, not a summary. The coder's own rules: primary is the chief reason for care, only provider-documented diagnoses count, resolved and rule-out conditions stay out.

03 · CHECK

Deterministic validation

Every code is looked up in the official ICD-10-CM table: does it exist, is it reportable, is it allowed as a primary under PDGM, is a symptom-control rating permitted. Anything that fails goes back for correction before you see it.

04 · REVIEW

Your coder decides

A worksheet with the codes, the evidence, the conflicts, the provider queries and the OASIS answers the packet supports. Accept, edit, sign. Every edit is logged, and every edit makes the next packet better.

Time and money

What a 30-minute chart is costing you right now.

Move the sliders to your own numbers. Oasai is priced at $6 per start-of-care chart; the review time below is what pilot coders averaged with a finished worksheet in front of them.

Evidence, not suggestions

Output you can audit without reopening the fax.

This is a real worksheet from a pilot packet: a 79-year-old discharged after a heart failure exacerbation, with diabetes, kidney disease and atrial fibrillation. Names are synthetic. Everything else is what the coder saw.

  • ✓
    Correct primary, correct sequence.

    Hypertension, heart failure and CKD together require the combination code I13.0 first. The referring office had written I50.9 and I10.

  • ✓
    Vague codes upgraded.

    E11.9 became E11.22 and the invalid N18.3 became N18.32 because the chart documented diabetic CKD at stage 3b.

  • ✓
    Traps caught.

    “Rheumatoid arthritis: Y” on a patient checklist with negative RF and CCP: not coded, with the manual page cited. Resolved AKI: excluded. “Possible OSA”: excluded.

  • ✓
    OASIS answered.

    Inpatient stay, active diagnoses, height and weight, dyspnea, continence, wounds, high-risk drugs, oxygen: 10 of 10 matched the answer key.

Coders were the hardest people to convince. They're now the reference.

★★★★★

“I stopped trusting AI coding tools two vendors ago. This one shows me the page. If it's wrong, I can see why in ten seconds, and it's wrong a lot less than I expected.”

DM
Denise M., HCS-DLead coder, Riverbend Coding Partners
★★★★★

“Our average went from 31 minutes a chart to 9 in the first month. Same five coders, two new agency contracts, no overtime. The savings calculator on this page was, if anything, conservative for us.”

RT
Ray T.Owner, Meridian OASIS Review
★★★★★

“The provider queries alone were worth it. It catches the obesity-versus-BMI problem and the stale problem-list entries that used to come back to us in ADRs.”

About us

A Barcelona team that has spent years inside American medical faxes.

Oasai is built by NextVibe Innovations, a Barcelona startup focused on AI-powered automation for US home healthcare. Before Oasai, the team built the document pipelines that read referral packets for hospital systems and revenue-cycle companies: the same faxes, the same EHR exports, the same contradictions. Home health coding was the obvious next job for them.

Questions coders ask

Straight answers.

Does it replace our coders?

No. It replaces the 20 minutes of reading before the decision. Your certified coder reviews, edits and signs every case; Oasai only prepares the worksheet. Teams use the freed hours for more clients, OASIS review and ADR work.

How accurate is it?

On pilot packets with independent answer keys, Oasai selected the correct primary and matched 10 of 11 secondary codes, with every exclusion correct and 10 of 10 OASIS cross-checks matched. We publish accuracy only as measured against certified coders on held-out real cases, with the method stated, and the free demo lets you measure it on your own packets before you pay anything.

What does it need from us?

The packet, as a PDF or TIFF, the way it arrives by fax. No EMR integration is required to start; drop files into the console or send them through the API. Results export in the formats your coders already paste into.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

Oasai runs on AWS under a Business Associate Agreement with model inference through Amazon Bedrock under BAA. We sign a BAA with each customer. Packets are deleted 30 days after a case closes by default.

What does it cost?

$6 per start-of-care chart and $4 per recertification or resumption, with volume discounts from 5,000 charts a month. Firms that run their coders through the console pay a $1,500 monthly platform fee for seats, edit logging, the accuracy dashboard and the API. The first 10 charts are free in the demo.

Hospice too?

Home health start of care, recertification and resumption today. Hospice coding is in pilot with two firms; ask if you want to be the third.
