NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nym, the leader in translating clinical language into actionable information, today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Best Overall Health Administration Software” award in the seventh annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program. MedTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global health and medical technology market, also recognized Nym in 2022 with the “Health Administration Innovation Award.”
“Roughly 25% of U.S. healthcare spending is wasteful, and the largest source of this waste stems from administrative costs totaling $266 billion a year1,” said Or Peles, Nym’s CEO. “At Nym, we’re on a mission to change this and simplify healthcare by automating unnecessarily manual, administrative processes that are error-prone, costly, and inefficient. We’re incredibly proud to deliver a revenue management solution that is driving value for healthcare providers, and it’s an honor to receive another MedTech Breakthrough award.”
MedTech Breakthrough recognized Nym for its industry-leading medical coding engine, which is bringing greater accuracy and efficiency to the medical billing process for over 150 emergency department, radiology, and urgent care facilities across the U.S. Powered by Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) technology, the Nym engine deciphers clinical language in patient charts and assigns medical charge codes in a matter of seconds. Patient charts coded by Nym are sent directly to bill with over 96% code-over-code accuracy and zero human intervention.
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, hard work, and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data, and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 4,000 nominations from over 17 different countries throughout the world.
“The U.S. spends between $600 billion and $1 trillion dollars annually on healthcare-related administrative activities, and medical coding is one of the primary drivers of these expenses,” said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Nym is addressing this issue head-on, leveraging their breakthrough CLU technology and a consistent, rules-based approach to successfully automate coding for complex outpatient specialties like emergency medicine, produce audit trails, and quickly expand into new specialties. Congratulations to Nym on another MedTech Breakthrough award and their continued growth!’”
