AI MEDICAL AGENTS · TERTIARY HOSPITALS

AI does not replace physicians.
It brings evidence to every decision.

MEV supports claims, coding, and referrals inside the EMR/OCS screens your clinicians already use. Every recommendation is backed by evidence, every decision is signed off by a physician, and the entire process is recorded.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps,
inside the screens you already use.

There is no separate system to deploy. MEV recommends within the EMR/OCS workflow, and your clinicians make the final call.

STEP 1

EMR/OCS integration

MEV connects to your existing systems on the hospital's internal network. Data never leaves the hospital.

STEP 2

Analysis · recommendation · evidence

It generates recommendations and drafts for claims, coding, and referrals, and attaches supporting evidence to every result.

STEP 3

Physician sign-off · record

A physician makes the final decision. Who approved what, and when, is preserved in the audit trail.

SERVICES

Revenue, records, care delivery —
all three, at once.

The three service areas stand on equal footing. In each, MEV produces recommendations and drafts, and your clinicians sign off.

PLATFORM · AGENTS + MIDDLEWARE

Integrate once.
Every subsequent agent simply plugs in.

MEV is built in two layers: an AI medical agent platform and a healthcare middleware layer. EMR integration, terminology mapping, and security review are completed at first deployment. Every agent after that runs on the same foundation.

This is what MEV actually does. Measured outcomes from client hospitals will be published separately once the data has been validated.

Areas 1 · 2 · 3 integrated

One agent reads the full clinical and billing context

It interprets documentation, imaging reports, procedures, and claims together, recommending as a single coherent flow rather than as disconnected tools.

Prevent claim denials before submission

Detects items at risk of denial before the claim is filed, and points to the specific correction with supporting evidence.

Identify return-referral candidates automatically

Flags patients who meet the criteria and drafts referral and return-referral letters, supporting your metric management.

Automated clinical coding recommendations

Recommends diagnosis and fee-schedule codes from documentation, imaging reports, and procedures, and checks for omissions.

Evidence-linked claim accuracy

Connects coding and claims through shared evidence, improving accuracy and readiness for HIRA quality assessments.

TRUST & GOVERNANCE

Engineered to the standards
tertiary hospitals require.

Data never leaves the hospital. Decisions remain with physicians. Every step is traceable. And MEV is not a separate system — it operates inside the existing EMR/OCS workflow.

FAQ

The questions hospitals ask
before they adopt.

Answers to the most common questions about AI medical agents, data security, regulatory compliance, and integration with your existing EMR/OCS.

What does MEV do?

MEV is an AI medical agent company serving tertiary and university hospitals. We support three functions — reimbursement and claims optimization (RCM), automated clinical coding, and referral and return-referral management — inside the clinician's existing EMR/OCS workflow. Every recommendation is accompanied by evidence, and every decision is signed off by a physician.

How is an AI medical agent different from conventional medical AI?

MEV's agent is not a single-purpose diagnostic aid. It supports the entire administrative workflow from documentation through coding, claims, and referrals. It generates recommendations and drafts inside the EMR/OCS screens, with no separate system to adopt, and attaches a source, physician sign-off, and an audit trail to every output.

How does MEV prevent claim denials? (claims review · RCM)

Before submission, MEV screens each claim against the review criteria for items at risk of denial and for missed charges, and shows the evidence for why each item is flagged. It also monitors HIRA quality-assessment metrics — including the New Bundled Payment system, DRG, and non-covered services — to protect rightfully earned revenue.

How does clinical coding automation work?

From clinical documentation, imaging reports, and procedure notes, MEV recommends diagnosis (KCD), fee-schedule, and procedure codes, and displays the supporting text from the record alongside each recommendation. The AI only recommends. The physician makes the final decision, and finalized codes flow directly into EDI claims.

What does the referral and return-referral agent do?

It automatically identifies patients ready for return referral, drafts referral and return-referral letters, and matches patients with partner facilities. It supports management of the return-referral rate, a key metric in Tertiary General Hospital designation review.

Does the AI replace the physician's judgment?

No. MEV follows a human-in-the-loop principle. The AI presents recommendations and drafts together with their evidence, and the final decision always rests with the physician. Who approved what, and when, is recorded in the audit log.

Is patient data secure? Does it ever leave the hospital?

Patient data never leaves the hospital network. MEV supports on-premises and air-gapped (network-separated) deployment, pseudonymizes data before processing, and transmits no identifiable information externally.

How does MEV comply with the Medical Service Act, the Personal Information Protection Act, and related regulations?

MEV is designed to the requirements of the Medical Service Act and the Personal Information Protection Act from the outset, with built-in procedures for verifying the clinical validity and evidence of every output. We also assess applicability under the MFDS medical device (SaMD) framework.

How does MEV integrate with our existing EMR/OCS?

MEV is not a stand-alone application. It operates inside the EMR/OCS screens your clinicians already use, presenting recommendations without a separate login or duplicate data entry, and without interrupting the flow of care.

How can we evaluate the impact and see a demonstration?

In a 30-minute demonstration, we walk you through the area that matters most to you — claims, coding, or referrals. Measured outcomes from client hospitals will be published separately once the data has been validated. We do not present estimates as facts.

What is an AI medical agent?

An AI medical agent is an AI system designed to carry a specific hospital workflow (patient referral and return referral, insurance claims, clinical coding) through to completion inside the clinician’s existing EMR/OCS workflow. Unlike a chatbot or a single prediction model, it reads the record, produces drafts and recommendations, attaches evidence, hands off to the next system after physician sign-off, and logs the entire process in an audit trail. MEV’s agents stop at recommendations and drafts. The physician always makes the final decision.

What is MEV’s healthcare middleware, and why does it matter?

It is the standards layer between hospital systems (EMR/OCS, billing, medical records, referral exchange systems) and the AI agents. It handles HL7 FHIR-based EMR/EHR integration, KCD ↔ ICD-10 and SNOMED CT terminology mapping, country-specific claims adapters, and on-premises LLM operation with security controls (pseudonymization, audit trail, physician sign-off). Once integration, terminology mapping, and security review are completed at first deployment, each subsequent agent simply plugs into the same foundation.

Does MEV support international standards such as ICD-10, CPT, FHIR, or prior authorization?

The middleware is designed around HL7 FHIR interfaces and KCD ↔ ICD-10 and SNOMED CT mapping. Care transition, claims and denial management (RCM), medical coding (ICD-10 and CPT), prior authorization, and clinical documentation are on the global expansion roadmap. Target markets and timing will be confirmed according to the business plan. Commercial deployments today are in Korean tertiary hospitals.

Are there reference deployments?

Seoul National University Bundang Hospital began a subscription to the referral and return-referral AI agent in October 2026 (SaaS subscription, contracted through the hospital’s project lead vendor). Proofs of concept are in progress with The Catholic Medical Center (reimbursement and claim-denial response AI) and Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital (health-screening report generation AI). Measured outcomes will be published once the data has been validated.
