Freestanding Emergency Departments | InstaCode

    FSEDs Run on Commercial Revenue.

    Preventable Denials Are the Ones That Cost the Most.

    InstaCode brings autonomous coding, continuous audit visibility, and transparent reporting to freestanding emergency medicine. For operators who need more from a coding partner than a monthly invoice and a denial list they cannot explain.

    The Coding Challenges FSEDs Face Are Not Generic Problems.

    With vs. Without

    A Different Starting Point for Revenue Cycle Performance

    Without InstaCode

    • Denials arrive weeks after submission. By the time the audit report surfaces the pattern, it has already repeated.
    • Expired codes enter the billing workflow. No system-level control exists to stop them.
    • Monthly audits find errors that could have been caught at the time of coding. The corrective window is gone.
    • BCBS rejects on primary diagnosis. The vendor response is slow and incomplete.
    • Suspended charts sit in a workflow that does not match how ER leadership actually reviews and escalates.

    With InstaCode

    • Coding intelligence surfaces gaps from documentation before claims go out, while corrections are still easy to make.
    • Expired codes are blocked at the system level. They do not enter the workflow.
    • Audit signals run continuously across every encounter — not once a month.
    • Reporting shows where errors originate, which code types, which patterns. Not just what was denied.
    • Suspended chart handling follows the facility's existing review and escalation process.
    Why InstaCode, Specifically

    Autonomous Coding Built for an Environment Most Platforms Were Not Designed For.

    A Different Level of Technology

    Most vendors servicing FSEDs today are smaller operations without a technology platform. InstaCode is an autonomous coding engine with built-in audit infrastructure, real-time reporting, and system-level controls. For this market, that is a meaningful step up.

    Experience in the Environment

    Coding for a freestanding ER is not the same as coding for a hospital outpatient department. DeliverHealth's team has 20+ years of direct FSED experience, including Single Pass coding for simultaneous facility and professional fee workflows and manual ancillary services coding for radiology, lab, drug administration, and supply and drug code capture.

    Predictable Cost Structure

    Per-chart billing with no additional charge for suspended charts. Tied directly to encounter volume for owner-operated facilities managing revenue on a case-by-case basis.

    A Pathway to Automation

    PerformPlatform gives FSED coding operations a structured path toward greater automation. Real-time reporting, denial trend visibility, and encounter-level audit signals replace the monthly vendor summary from day one—giving smaller-volume facilities the infrastructure to scale.

    Workflow & EHR Integration

    No New Infrastructure. Fits the Process You Already Have.

    • EPD and T-System EHR integration supported. GoRev and CollaborateMD billing system integration supported.
    • Coding occurs in PerformPlatform or within the existing billing workflow, based on the facility's preference.
    • Suspended chart review follows the facility's existing process — ER leadership reviews before provider escalation.
    • Audit and reporting built into the platform, not a separate system.

    What It Means for End Users

    One Platform. Outcomes That Matter Across the Organization

    RCM Director - Billing Manager

    Knows what coders are doing and where denials originate. Coder performance visible by encounter type and code category. Audit findings are in the platform, not a monthly PDF.

    Operator - Owner - CFO

    Predictable per-chart billing. Visibility into revenue cycle performance without pulling it from the vendor manually. A coding partner that can show its work and respond with data when something goes wrong.

    Compliance Lead

    Full audit trail from documentation to submitted code. Every action is logged. Expired codes cannot enter the workflow.

    Implementation Reality

    Getting Started Without Getting in the Way.

    InstaCode deploys on top of what the facility already uses. The platform is configured to the facility's workflow during implementation — including suspended chart handling, escalation processes, and audit frequency.

    Scoping Conversation

    A short call to understand current systems, encounter volume, coder setup, and where revenue cycle friction tends to show up.

    2

    Data Sharing

    NDA & BAA executed; data sharing enabled for chart testing once documents are signed.

    3

    Integration & Configuration

    EPD and T-System EHR connection established. GoRev and CollaborateMD billing system integrated. Coder model selected: in-house, DeliverHealth, or hybrid. Audit rules, suspended chart workflow, and reporting cadence are configured in accordance with the facility's standards.

    4

    Chart Testing & Validation

    Live charts run through the platform before go-live. Coding accuracy reviewed and configuration adjusted as needed.

    5

    Go Live

    Coding begins. Audit signals run continuously from day one. Turnaround target of under 24 hours from chart delivery.

    Schedule a Conversation

    A quick call to understand where the facility is today and whether InstaCode is worth a closer look. A few questions about current workflows, encounter volume, and where revenue cycle friction tends to show up.

    What to Expect

    • Current coding setup, vendor, and where denials tend to originate.
    • Encounter volume, PM/billing system, and number of locations.
    • An honest read on fit, and a clear next step if there is something worth exploring.

    Why Organizations Choose This Approach

    What FSED Operators Know Before They Go Live

    Autonomous coding that scales with volume without degrading accuracy or adding headcount.

    Continuous audit signal — performance issues surface in the workflow, not after the billing cycle closes.

    Transparent reporting that shows what happened, why it happened, and what is being done about it.

    System-level controls on expired codes and compliance, not procedural reminders.

    Workflow flexibility that preserves existing suspended chart review and escalation processes.

    AAPC/AHIMA-credentialed human oversight on every exception

    PerformPlatform puts smaller coding-volume facilities on a structured path toward automation—real-time audit visibility and denial trend reporting from day one.
