Optum CDI and coding solutions

More than 20 years ago, we introduced our natural language processing (NLP) engine, proven to accurately interpret the meaning and context of medical terminology in electronic medical records. After two decades of continuous improvement, it delivers unsurpassed results.

All NLP engines are not created equal

• Optum® NLP uses proprietary rules and algorithms to drive CDI and coding solutions. Developed specifically for health care, Optum NLP incorporates clinical intelligence to provide more specific and comprehensive results that support efficiency and accuracy.
