Kode Health

Born out of a clear need for greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness within the complex world of medical coding, KODE Health embarked on its journey in 2021. Industry veterans Brian Dessoy and Brad Sawdon saw an opportunity to revolutionize the traditional, often cumbersome, processes that plagued healthcare providers and coding professionals alike. Their vision was to create a dynamic, user-friendly marketplace that could seamlessly connect these two crucial parts of the healthcare ecosystem. The COVID-19 pandemic, a period of widespread disruption across industries, served as a catalyst, highlighting the urgency for more flexible and on-demand solutions. This environment paved the way for KODE Health to introduce its pioneering on-demand medical coding platform.

The core idea was to leverage technology, specifically AI and predictive analytics, to build a system that not only addressed staffing fluctuations and reduced administrative burdens for healthcare systems but also empowered certified medical coders. KODE Health set out to create a platform where 'Koders,' their community of certified professionals, could take control of their work, choosing when and how often they code, and even how quickly they get paid. This human-centric approach, combined with cutting-edge technology, aimed to reshape the administrative landscape of healthcare. Since its inception, KODE Health has experienced significant growth, coding over a quarter of a million medical records monthly and building a customer base of over 5,500 certified coding professionals who have collectively coded millions of records. The company's innovative model has attracted substantial investment, enabling further development of its AI-driven tools and expansion of its network, solidifying its position as a transformative force in revenue cycle management.
