Study Examines Limits of Agentic ICD-10-CM Coding Benchmarks
A new arXiv paper analyzes how well agentic systems perform on ICD-10-CM medical coding, the alphanumeric codes used in the US for diagnoses, billing, and epidemiology. The authors argue that standard benchmarks rely on aggregate scores that hide poor performance on harder coding scenarios. The work aims to expose where current evaluation practices fall short for complex cases.
