Sequencing medical codes methods and apparatus

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method for automatically processing text comprising information regarding a patient encounter to assign a sequence to medical billing codes derived from the text, the method comprising:

• generating an initial ordered sequence of a plurality of medical billing codes at least in part by:
• analyzing the text to extract a plurality of facts from the text;
• and
• assigning a plurality of medical billing codes to the plurality of facts;
• generating a revised ordered sequence of the plurality of medical billing codes by using a model trained at least in part on feedback from a user, wherein generating the revised ordered sequence comprises using the model to change the initial ordered sequence of the plurality of medical billing codes, the revised ordered sequence comprising a sequence beginning with a first medical billing code corresponding to a primary diagnosis associated with the text;
• and
• outputting for presentation, in a user interface, the plurality of medical billing codes in the revised ordered sequence for review.
