    Report Overview

    U.S. Medical Coding Market size is expected to be worth around USD 44 Billion by 2032 from USD 20.3 Billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 9.4 % during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.

    Medical errors, fraud, and delusion of medical documents can lead to considerable financial losses, which in turn can lead to a lack of effective revenue cycle management and medical billings. Consequently, a growing demand for revenue cycle management software and services, including medical coding software, is anticipated.

    The market is further supported by the increased endorsement of digital technologies, such as Electronic Health Records (EHR), mHealth Applications, telehealth, revenue cycle management software and the growing trend of digitization of healthcare in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2021, over 88% of the physicians’ offices in the U.S used EHRs. The utilization of medical coding is increasing in the revenue cycle management process.

    In addition, new revisions are added to the codes to make them more flexible and scalable. The latest version of the code, ICD 11, was launched in January 2022. This includes several new chapters and acts as a support for electronic health records (EHRs). The ICD 11 has about 55000 codes to classify disorders, diseases and injuries, as well as deaths. WHO introduced the new version of ICD 10 between April to September 2020.

    Classification System Analysis

    ICD Segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022

    The ICD segment dominated the market with 65% revenue share in 2022 as there is an increase in the usage of these codes among the coders. ICD 11, which entered into force on 1st January 2022, is precise and flexible. Health information can be used for multiple purposes such as improving patient outcomes, quality analysis, strategic planning, population health reporting, safety, integrated care and delivering healthcare services. The coding tool can be submerged in local digital records and IT systems. This increases user compliance and reduces cost & training time.

    With multiple ICD codes and revisions to suit the fast-changing healthcare industry, CPT is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the forecast period. CPT codes, also known as HCPCS codes, are used for describing tests, surgeries, and other procedures for medical billing. The government monitors the CPT codes to measure disease prevalence and health expenditure.

    Component Analysis

    The outsourced Segment of the U.S medical coding market held the largest revenue share at 70% in 2022.

    In 2022, the outsourced segment had the largest revenue share of 70%. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period. Outsourcing of medical coding requirements is becoming popular among healthcare providers to a great extent. This is due to the fact that outsourcing helps in reducing administrative costs, saving time, and improving workflow. By outsourcing medical coding, healthcare providers are able to focus on delivering high-quality patient care and increasing patient engagement. The increasing trend of outsourcing revenue cycle management, as well as medical coding, is also having a positive impact on the market growth.

    The in-house segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. Healthcare providers are capable of regulating their entire operations through the utilization of in-house codes, medical billing and coding, as well as revenue cycle management. Furthermore, in-house coders are readily available in case of coding errors.

    Medical Specialty Analysis

    Other Services Segment Dominated the U.S Market in 2022

    In 2022, the other services segment dominated the US market with 49% market share. Medical coding services are in high demand across the majority of specialties due to an increase in insurance coverage for a variety of diseases. Other Services include medical specialties such as obstetrics, gynecology, nephrology and many more. This makes other services the dominant segment among all the other medical specialties. Owing to rising prevalence of cardiac disorders and complicated procedures which require well-trained coders, the cardiology segment is likely to demonstrate the fastest growth.
