KIWI TEK

What KIWI TEK does

KIWI-TEK, LLC is a privately held, Indianapolis-based medical coding outsourcing company founded in 2002 that sells 100% US-based, credentialed coder capacity (AHIMA/AAPC certified with three-plus years of hospital facility experience) to US healthcare providers. Its customer base spans hospitals and health systems, physician groups, and academic medical centers, with named references such as Medical Center Hospital, where the relationship expanded from hospital coding to professional fee coding for 400 physicians. The company runs a fully remote delivery model, managed through OneDrive for scheduling and OneNote for training, and integrates with the dominant EHR platforms (Epic, Cerner, Meditech).

The service portfolio covers the full revenue-cycle coding workflow: facility inpatient and outpatient coding, professional fee coding across multiple specialties, coding audits, edits and denials management, Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) coding for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment. The operational differentiator is a QA process that reviews 100% of work on new client assignments and shifts to monthly reviews once coders sustain 95% accuracy, against an industry baseline of quarterly reviews. The portfolio is delivered as professional services and on a usage-based per-chart / per-encounter basis, alongside PRN, part-time, and full-time placements, with no publicly disclosed pricing and a quote-based sales motion.

KIWI-TEK distributes directly to enterprise healthcare buyers through consultative field sales and a website-driven consultation request channel; there are no disclosed resellers, partnerships, or institutional investors, and ownership appears to be founder-/family-controlled under President Mark Wagner and COO Bill Wagner. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents, and one external recognition (CIOReview 2016), and reports a 501-1,000 employee base with no disclosed revenue.
