Enterprise Medical Coding Without the Enterprise Price Tag
3M CodeAssist is built for large hospital systems with big budgets and long procurement cycles. AutoICD gives you the same AI-powered coding through a simple API, starting in minutes.
Enterprise Coding Without Enterprise Procurement
3M CodeAssist is a proven enterprise solution used by large hospital systems. But for teams that are not ready for a six-figure annual contract and months-long procurement cycle, it is not a practical option. AutoICD provides the same core capability — AI-powered ICD-10 coding — through a simple API you can integrate in an afternoon.
The key difference is accessibility. With AutoICD, a small clinic or health tech startup gets the same AI coding technology that was previously only available to large health systems. Sign up, get an API key, and start coding clinical notes in minutes — not months.
For teams already using 3M, AutoICD can serve as a lightweight alternative for specific workflows: processing overflow volume, powering a patient-facing app, or running coding quality checks in a secondary system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can AutoICD replace 3M CodeAssist?
For diagnosis coding (ICD-10-CM), AutoICD provides comparable AI-powered coding via API. However, 3M CodeAssist also covers procedure coding (ICD-10-PCS, CPT) and deeper EHR integrations. AutoICD is best suited for teams that need diagnosis coding through an API without the enterprise overhead.
Does AutoICD support ICD-10-PCS procedure codes?
Not currently. AutoICD focuses on ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding. If you need procedure coding, 3M CodeAssist or a similar enterprise tool may be a better fit for that specific workflow.
Can I use AutoICD alongside 3M CodeAssist?
Yes. Many teams use AutoICD for specific workflows (overflow volume, developer integrations, quality checks) while keeping their primary enterprise system for core coding operations.
