Fast Company Recognizes Nym Among 2022 Honorees in Health Category of World Changing Ideas Awards

Nym’s Medical Coding Engine Receives Honorable Mention for Advancing Automation that Reduces Administrative Complexity and Brings Greater Simplicity to Healthcare

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nym Health, a leader in transforming clinical language into actionable information, today announced that its medical coding engine received an Honorable Mention in the health category of Fast Company’s 2022 World Changing Ideas Awards. Among the global companies selected, Nym earned recognition for developing technology that can understand clinical language and provides an entirely new way of analyzing medical records into clear, concise and actionable information.

Now in its sixth year, the World Changing Ideas Awards recognize companies and organizations addressing the world’s most complex problems through technology, science, design, finance, education, and philanthropy. A panel of Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 2,997 entries from across the globe and fields such as transportation, education, food, politics, technology, health, social justice and more.

“Our mission is to automate the accurate interpretation of clinical language to simplify healthcare,” said Amihai Neiderman, Nym’s CEO and Co-Founder. “By unlocking vital data and evidence buried within medical records, Nym helps healthcare providers get paid faster and more accurately, while reducing the time and cost associated with medical coding and billing. This ultimately ensures clinical and administrative teams can spend more time focused on patient care. We’re honored that Fast Company has recognized the value the Nym engine delivers and to be included among the 2022 honorees.”

By combining clinical expertise, computational linguistics and explainable AI, Nym’s engine is automating revenue cycle management and significantly reducing dependence on antiquated, manual billing processes, which lead to coding-related denials from insurers that add up to billions in lost revenue annually for healthcare providers. In seconds and with zero human intervention, Nym’s engine interprets clinical language in patient charts and assigns accurate and compliant ICD-10-CM and CPT reimbursement codes to them. Additionally, as new coding guidelines are released, the Nym engine is automatically updated. It also produces audit-ready, traceable documentation for every code generated, providing hospitals and health systems with total visibility into how each code is assigned by the Nym engine.

“We are consistently inspired by the novelty and creativity that people are applying to solve some of our society’s most pressing problems, from shelter to the climate crisis. Fast Company relishes its role in amplifying important, innovative work to address big challenges,” says David Lidsky, interim editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists have identified some of the most ingenious initiatives to launch since the start of 2021, which we hope will both have a meaningful impact and lead others to join in being part of the solution.”
