The AI agent for medical coders
Sauna reads encounter notes, charge sheets, and payer policies, drafts the ICD-10 and CPT code set with modifiers for each visit, flags unsupported codes, and queues the batch for your sign-off before it hits the biller.
What it does
What Sauna does for medical coders
- 01
Draft code sets
Pulls the day's encounters from Google Sheets, drafts the ICD-10 and CPT/HCPCS codes with modifiers per chart, and cites the documentation line that supports each one.
- 02
Catch unbundling
Cross-checks proposed code pairs against NCCI edits and flags any that need a modifier or would trigger a denial, posting the list to Slack for review.
- 03
Build query letters
When documentation is too thin to code, drafts a physician query in Google Docs naming the specific gap and the codes it would unlock, ready for you to send.
- 04
Track coding backlog
Keeps an Airtable view of un-coded charts by age and provider, nudges you on the oldest, and updates status as each batch clears your approval.

Ask in chat. It does the work.
Sauna shows up where you already work — the web app, Slack, email, iMessage, and Superhuman. It reads what it needs, does the task, and comes back with the draft for your approval.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Will it assign codes the note doesn't support?
No. It only proposes codes tied to a documentation line it can cite, and where support is missing it writes you a physician query instead of guessing.
Does it submit anything to the payer?
Never. It drafts and queues the coded batch; nothing leaves for the biller or clearinghouse until you approve it.
Is my data safe?
Sauna reads only what you connect, and acts only after you approve. Your workspace and its memory are yours, not training data.
