Vlad Panin, CEO of iFrame.AI, breaks down how AI-driven automation eliminates coding mistakes, protects patient data, and challenges the monopolies keeping healthcare broken.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A recent survey found that nearly half of insured Americans faced surprise medical expenses in the past year. (1) These billing errors cost the US economy $210 billion annually, yet most patients don't contest them—often because they don't realize they can. (2) This system not only drains patient finances but also strains administrative processes, delays reimbursements, and undermines trust. This week on the Disruption Interruption podcast, host Karla Jo Helms (KJ) welcomes Vlad Panin, Founder and CEO of iFrame.AI, to discuss how AI-powered medical coding can eliminate these costly inefficiencies and reshape healthcare operations.
The Illusion of Patient Choice
In a functional healthcare system, doctors determine the best course of treatment based on medical expertise. In the U.S., however, insurers hold the final say. "Everywhere else in the world, healthcare is based on human dignity," Panin says. "Here, it's about cost-cutting first, care second."
This system not only undermines doctor-patient trust but also limits access to critical procedures. "Insurance companies can't earn more than 2% or 3% of gross revenue," Panin explains. "So they create this illusion that they're reducing prices, but really, they're just controlling what care you get."
The Cost of Becoming a Doctor: Trained to Follow, Not Lead
Beyond patient's impact, Panin argues that the monopolistic control in healthcare dictates the entire career path of doctors. "They train you as a dog," he states bluntly, referring to how medical professionals are conditioned to operate within rigid systems that require them to revalidate their credentials. "After spending ten years of your life in education, monopolies will decide if you will practice medicine. That's crazy."
How iFrame.AI Eliminates Medical Coding Delays and Security Risks
Traditional medical coding is time-consuming and prone to errors, but AI automation is changing the game. With 98% accuracy, iFrame.AI enables hospitals and clinics to generate precise medical codes without sending patient data outside their facilities. "We just put everything in the cloud, and now you don't even have to consolidate data," points out Panin.
By integrating directly with electronic health record (EHR) systems, AI eliminates the need for manual coding, reducing administrative burdens and improving efficiency. This approach also enhances security and compliance by keeping data within local or preferred cloud environments.
"With iFrame.AI, there's no need to send patient data across borders. Our system operates within your chosen cloud infrastructure, ensuring full compliance," Panin explains. By allowing healthcare providers to control where and how their data is processed, iFrame.AI ensures privacy while streamlining operations.
