🚀 Meet Us at HIMSS 2026 | March 9–12, 2026 | Las Vegas, NV 🎉
New Orleans has a way of making you feel welcome before you've even settled in. The "Welcome to New Orleans" signs were everywhere across the city, and the energy was hard to miss. We spent our days at the conference and our nights somewhere between the food scene and the music, but the energy that actually stayed with us came from what orthopedic surgeons were testing at our booth.
Orthopedic surgeons expect documentation that actually reflects the complexity of their work. Multi-step procedures need precise anatomical terminology, and imaging has to correlate correctly with clinical findings. This level of detail forms the foundation of orthopedic documentation, and it's where AI either earns its place or falls short.
Clinical intelligence is what orthopedics actually needs from an AI system, which means understanding laterality, sequencing procedures correctly, and holding anatomical precision through an entire note. General transcription tools were designed for simpler workflows, and it shows quickly. Orthopedics requires AI built for the specialty from the ground up.
Multiple surgeons tested Marvix during live demos, and they came prepared. They introduced complex scenarios to see how the system would respond, and the scenarios they brought were drawn straight from their own practices.
They introduced multi-level spinal procedures and revision surgeries with prior hardware, and some pushed into bilateral cases where laterality precision affects both billing and clinical accuracy. Others moved outside the OR entirely and tested IMEs and workers' compensation reports, which are documents where a single ambiguous line can create serious legal and financial problems downstream. Precision, completeness, and defensibility matter as much as clinical accuracy in these workflows, and the bar they set reflected that.
Marvix handled them. Notes came out with correct laterality and anatomical precision throughout, and the IME and workers' comp documents maintained clinical clarity while meeting the documentation expectations those formats require. What became clear watching this was that the system understands orthopedic workflows in a way general transcription tools are simply designed around.
Once surgeons saw how the documentation held up, the billing question came up quickly, and one capability drew consistent interest. Marvix recommends CPT codes and modifiers based on what it documents, and that matters more than it might sound when you consider how quietly undercoding tends to happen in orthopedic practices. Missed add-on codes and overlooked modifier requirements can cost thousands of dollars per case in some situations.
Marvix addresses this with automated CPT suggestions and modifier recommendations built into the workflow, covering E/M leveling alongside add-on codes that reflect the actual work performed. For orthopedic practices, that translates to ROI that protects revenue at the point of documentation.
Orthopedics needs AI that proves it understands the specialty through the documentation it actually produces. Technical precision and coding accuracy are baseline expectations for any system working in this space. Marvix was built to handle orthopedic complexity across the full documentation workflow, covering pre-op planning through post-op notes, generating imaging summaries that connect findings to clinical context, supporting billing accuracy with code and modifier recommendations, and maintaining laterality precision across multi-step procedures. The system adapts to how orthopedic surgeons actually work, because that's precisely what we designed it to do.
New Orleans left an impression on us, and not just because of the city. What stood out most was watching orthopedic surgeons test a system built specifically for their specialty, and seeing it hold up under that pressure.
