This study presents a novel two-stage Retrieve-Rank system for automated ICD-10-CM medical coding, comparing its performance against a Vanilla Large Language Model (LLM) approach. Evaluating both systems on a dataset of 100 single-term medical conditions, the Retrieve-Rank system achieved 100% accuracy in predicting correct ICD-10-CM codes, significantly outperforming the Vanilla LLM (GPT-3.5-turbo), which achieved only 6% accuracy. Our analysis demonstrates the Retrieve-Rank system's superior precision in handling various medical terms across different specialties. While these results are promising, we acknowledge the limitations of using simplified inputs and the need for further testing on more complex, realistic medical cases. This research contributes to the ongoing effort to improve the efficiency and accuracy of medical coding, highlighting the importance of retrieval-based approaches.
