In addition, the incidence of insurance fraud in the healthcare industry is increasing, globally, which plays a pivotal role in the growth of the medical coding market.

Moreover, it enhances productivity, increases transparency, improves accuracy and compliance, reduces costs, and provides traceability. Moreover, the development of new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted medical coding, is supporting market growth. For instance, in September 2019, Fathom, a U.S.-based startup, utilized Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automate medical coding and improve the speed and accuracy of coding.
