Innovaccer Launches Flow Capture, Bringing Autonomous Coding to the Frontlines of American Healthcare

Audio By Carbonatix

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 9, 2026--

Innovaccer, the leading healthcare AI company, today launched Flow Capture, an autonomous medical coding solution designed to eliminate one of the most persistent bottlenecks in American healthcare: manual coding.

Across the United States, for decades, health systems have relied on armies of coders and “computer-assisted” tools that still require humans to review every chart. As documentation grows more complex, coder shortages intensify, and payer rules constantly evolve, the model has become unsustainable. Billions of dollars are lost each year to coding errors, missed charges, and preventable denials

Flow Capture introduces a different operating model. The solution autonomously codes approximately 80% of encounters without human intervention and routes the remaining complex cases to certified coders with full AI-assisted context.

What makes this possible is how the encounter is built from the very beginning. Before a patient arrives, it prepares the physician with a concise summary of their history, active conditions, and care gaps. During the visit, an ambient scribe captures the conversation and builds the note in real time, so the physician's full attention stays on the patient. As the encounter wraps up, a built-in CDI assistant closes documentation gaps before the note is signed, right when the evidence is still in the room. Before the visit ends, the documentation is already structured, specific, and code-ready.

The moment a physician signs an encounter note, Flow Capture reads the documentation, extracts clinical entities, maps diagnoses and procedures to ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, and E/M codes, and applies current CMS and payer rules before submission. Encounters that meet high-confidence thresholds, are coded and prepared for billing automatically, while edge cases are escalated with transparent reasoning and supporting references.

Rather than asking coders to review every chart, Flow Capture shifts human expertise to where it is most needed. Coding teams focus on exceptions and clinical judgment, not repetitive validation. Revenue cycle leaders gain faster chart closure, improved first-pass accuracy, and greater predictability in downstream reimbursement.

“Every health system in America is being asked to do more with fewer people and tighter margins,” said Abhinav Shashank, cofounder and CEO of Innovaccer. “Coding sits at the center of that pressure. It determines how care is translated into revenue and Flow Capture brings predictability to that moment. By autonomously coding the majority of encounters with full transparency, we’re helping health systems lower cost per encounter, improve accuracy, and protect margin without expanding headcount.”

As coding errors remain one of the leading drivers of preventable denials, accuracy and compliance are foundational to the system’s design. Flow Capture embeds payer and CMS logic directly into the coding engine, applying ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, NCCI edits, modifier logic, and evolving guideline updates before a claim is ever submitted. It also flags clinical documentation improvement gaps using MEAT criteria before claims leave the building. Every coding decision includes a clear audit trail and mapped medical decision-making rationale, providing compliance teams with visibility into how and why each code was assigned.

Flow Capture is part of Flow by Innovaccer, the company’s AI-powered revenue cycle suite designed to modernize financial operations for health systems. Within the Flow ecosystem, ambient documentation tools capture and structure the clinical encounter, Flow Capture autonomously translates that documentation into defensible codes, and adjacent capabilities help organizations manage the full financial lifecycle of an encounter. By connecting clinical documentation directly to revenue realization, Innovaccer aims to reduce friction between care delivery and financial outcomes.

The broader ambition aligns with Innovaccer’s long-term vision for autonomous healthcare: applying AI to high-volume, rules-driven processes across the care continuum so clinicians and administrative teams can redirect time and resources toward higher-value work. Coding represents one of the most complex and consequential of those processes. By automating it end-to-end while maintaining explainability and oversight, Flow Capture addresses both operational strain and revenue leakage at the source.

Innovaccer is launching Flow Capture through a limited early adopter program with select health systems. Participants will pilot the solution across defined specialties and track measurable outcomes including first-pass rate, chart closure time, and coder productivity.

As health systems confront mounting financial pressure and workforce constraints, Innovaccer positions autonomous coding not as incremental optimization, but as foundational infrastructure for the next era of revenue cycle performance, one where 80% of encounters can be coded autonomously and every decision remains transparent and defensible.
