Interest in using artificial intelligence (AI), like large language models (LLMs), to support medical coding is on the rise. But without clinical grounding, even the most advanced models can produce inaccurate or incomplete results.

This guide explores how a clinical knowledge layer – built on robust medical terminology and domain-specific expertise – can significantly improve LLM performance. Learn how to enhance your models for greater coding precision, downstream analytics, and operational efficiency.


Key Learnings:

  • Why out-of-the-box LLMs often struggle with medical coding

  • The importance of a clinical knowledge layer rooted in ontologies and informatics

  • How IMO Health delivers 92% coding accuracy, surpassing

  • ChatGPT-5’s 55%
