Although certain research has examined ambient AI adoption, and other research has documented broader increases in outpatient coding intensity in recent years, evaluation of the relationship between AI-enabled ambient scribing and outpatient E/M coding patterns remains underexplored. This study assesses whether shifts in outpatient E/M code distribution occurred within health systems that adopted ambient AI tools and provides insight on how AI-enabled documentation may intersect with billing and coding behaviors.
