+ # Automated Medical Coding
4
+
5
+ ## Overview
6
+ Automated Medical Coding is an AI-driven model designed to streamline the process of extracting and assigning medical codes from clinical notes. This model leverages natural language processing (NLP) to predict **ICD (International Classification of Diseases)** and **CPT (Current Procedural Terminology)** codes based on unstructured text data, such as physician notes or medical documentation.
7
+
8
+ Medical coding is a critical step in healthcare, facilitating accurate billing, claims processing, and statistical tracking. By automating this process, our model reduces manual effort, enhances accuracy, and saves time for healthcare providers.
9
+
10
+ ## Features
11
+ - Predicts **ICD codes**, which categorize diagnoses and medical conditions.
12
+ - Predicts **CPT codes**, which detail medical services and procedures.
13
+ - Designed to handle clinical notes with complex, unstructured language.
14
+
15
+ ## Base Model
16
+ This model builds upon the **[Microsoft/BiomedNLP-BiomedBERT-base-uncased-abstract](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/BiomedNLP-BiomedBERT-base-uncased-abstract)**, a pretrained transformer model fine-tuned for medical text understanding. BiomedBERT's capability to process medical jargon makes it an ideal foundation for this task.
17
+
18
+ ## How It Works
19
+ 1. **Input:** Clinical notes or medical documentation in textual format.
20
+ 2. **Processing:** The input text is tokenized and passed through BiomedBERT for feature extraction. Additional fully connected layers process these features to predict corresponding ICD and CPT codes.
21
+ 3. **Output:** A list of ICD and CPT codes relevant to the input clinical notes.
22
+
23
+ ## Benefits
24
+ - **Improved Efficiency:** Reduces manual coding time for medical professionals.
25
+ - **Increased Accuracy:** Minimizes errors in coding and improves billing accuracy.
26
+ - **Scalability:** Can process large volumes of clinical notes effectively.
