The AI medical coding enhancement underpins Med First’s strategy to increase its number of locations from 27 to nearly 40, with the goal of improving access to healthcare services.
With a limited number of certified coders, Med First had earlier depended on its providers to code claims, which posed a risk of missed revenue.
By implementing Arintra, the organisation automated and standardised the coding process, bolstered compliance, and reinforced its financial foundation for expansion.
Med First anticipates that this will facilitate increased access to primary and urgent care across its communities.

By GlobalDataMed First chief financial officer Wes Edwards said: “Throughout the rollout of Arintra’s solutions, our teams collaborated closely, maintaining clear communication and a shared commitment to accuracy at each phase. Every step of the implementation was carefully planned and executed, ensuring seamless integration with Med First’s operations.
“As an organisation, we know we are no longer leaving money on the table, and now, we can scale with the strong foundation necessary for success. We look forward to expanding our partnership as we continue to open up new locations and provide care to more patients.”
As Med First optimised its coding practices, it was simultaneously transitioning to a value-based care model, which introduced complex documentation requirements and increased the burden on clinicians.
The Arintra team customised its solution to ensure traceable and transparent coding, demonstrating compliance and enhancing the integrity of documentation.
