Bottom line
- Pick Nym if you have high-volume ED, radiology, or outpatient coding and can fund a months-long integration to take humans out of the loop entirely.
- Pick Solventum if you are a large hospital that wants the incumbent market-standard coding, CDI, and grouping stack with decades of regulatory content behind it.
Nym
Explainable autonomous coding for ED and outpatient
- Founded
- 2018
- HQ
- New York, NY
- Stage
- Growth equity
- Raised
- $94.5M
What it does
- Fully autonomous coding with zero human touch
- Assigns ICD-10 and CPT codes in seconds per chart
- Explainable audit trail justifying every code
- Covers emergency medicine, radiology, outpatient surgery, urgent care
- Processes over six million charts annually
Where it's strong
- True zero-touch autonomous coding, with codes assigned in seconds and no human in the loop for in-scope charts.
- Explainability is the differentiator: every code comes with a traceable justification, which audit and compliance teams value.
- Deployed in 40+ US hospitals including Geisinger and Ochsner, processing over six million charts a year.
What buyers should weigh
- Supports six service lines (ED, radiology, outpatient surgery, outpatient visits, inpatient professional, urgent care); everything else still needs coders.
- Charts falling outside the engine's confidence threshold route back to your human coding staff, so plan for a hybrid operation.
- A new CEO (Lori Jones) arrived in April 2026, so watch for strategy and roadmap shifts.

Solventum (formerly 3M Health Information Systems)
The incumbent coding and CDI platform, adding autonomous coding
- Founded
- 2024
- HQ
- St. Paul, MN
- Stage
- Public (NYSE: SOLV)
- Raised
- n/a
What it does
- 360 Encompass computer-assisted coding and CDI platform
- Autonomous coding that finalizes 80%+ of qualified outpatient charts
- Over 1 million proprietary coding rules as guardrails
- Grouping, reimbursement, and quality methodologies (MS-DRG, APR-DRG)
- Semi-autonomous fallback workflow for complex visits
Where it's strong
- Decades of coding content, terminologies, and payment methodologies that startups have to rebuild from scratch.
- Already installed in most large US hospitals, so autonomous coding can be turned on without a new vendor relationship.
- Public-company stability and a compliance track record that eases legal and audit review.
What buyers should weigh
- Autonomous coding is a newer bolt-on to a legacy platform; automation rates and chart eligibility trail some startup claims, so test on your own case mix.
- Enterprise contracts are large and multi-year, with less pricing flexibility than per-chart startup models.
- The company is mid-restructuring after the 3M spinoff, with a $500M cost-cutting program that buyers should watch for support impact.
