John Snow Labs announced the launch of Martlet.ai, a healthcare AI spinoff focused on transforming Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding. Based in Lewes, Delaware, Martlet.ai leverages advanced AI to enhance risk adjustment accuracy and streamline workflows for payers and providers, addressing critical challenges in value-based care.
Martlet.ai’s state-of-the-art HCC engine, built on healthcare-specific large language models (LLMs), automates the identification of missed clinical codes in unstructured patient charts. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, it is tailored for clinical documentation, ensuring compliance and precision. The platform operates fully behind customers’ firewalls, training models directly on patient data to deliver unmatched accuracy and speed. As David Talby, CEO of John Snow Labs, stated, “Martlet.ai gives healthcare organizations the power to take HCC coding into their own hands with a level of customization and compliance that is unmatched.”
West Virginia University (WVU) Medicine has implemented Martlet.ai, achieving significant improvements in HCC code accuracy and risk adjustment factor (RAF) scoring. The platform’s seamless two-way integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems streamlines physician workflows while maintaining full regulatory compliance. During the NLP Summit session “Maximizing Patient Care through AI-Enhanced HCC Code Discovery,” WVU reported a notable reduction in manual review time, highlighting Martlet.ai’s ability to enhance efficiency and financial sustainability in value-based care models.
With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announcing a 5.06% average payment increase for Medicare Advantage plans in 2026, accurate HCC coding is critical for securing appropriate reimbursements. Martlet.ai’s human-in-the-loop workflow and enterprise-grade validation layers ensure auditability and transparency, addressing the heightened expectations for coding integrity. Co-founded by CTO Hasham Ul Haq and CRO Ritwik Jain, Martlet.ai builds on John Snow Labs’ expertise in delivering AI solutions to leading healthcare enterprises.
Martlet.ai sets a new standard for AI-driven HCC coding, empowering Medicare Advantage, Medicaid MCOs, commercial insurers, ACOs, and revenue-cycle management firms with secure, scalable solutions. As the first of John Snow Labs’ planned spinoffs, it underscores their commitment to addressing high-impact healthcare challenges with innovative AI.
