Medical Records Release Automation

Let your AI agent handle requester verification, compliance checks, and audit-ready logs—so you can stop worrying about manual errors or regulatory fines.

If you’re a medical coder, you know the pain of tracking requests in Excel, digging through Epic or Cerner for records, and emailing PDFs back and forth. Every release means triple-checking HIPAA rules and hoping nothing slips through. One missed step can mean failed audits or costly penalties for your compliance team.

An AI agent that automates secure, compliant release of patient records for medical coders, handling verification, packaging, and audit logs.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In healthcare, medical coders and HIM specialists spend hours each week manually processing requests for patient records. Pulling data from Epic, verifying authorizations, redacting PHI, and logging every release in SharePoint or a spreadsheet eats up valuable time. These repetitive tasks increase the risk of compliance errors, missed deadlines, and audit failures.
