Why augment instead of hire?
Outstaffing hands you battle-tested Python engineers in days, not months, while avoiding recruiter fees, payroll taxes and onboarding drag. You keep full product control, we handle contracts, HR and legal. Scale headcount up or down as reimbursement rules change, tap niche expertise in DICOM, HL7 and CPT code mapping exactly when you need it, and stay compliant without locking capital into permanent salaries. Focus on revenue-cycle strategy;
we supply the vetted brains.

Client voices on medical imaging billing automation
“Smartbrain’s Python team wired a DICOM-to-EDI bridge in three weeks.” Denials dropped 18 % because their automated CPT-code validation caught errors before submission. The developers blended into our Scrum, pushed clean pytest-covered code and boosted throughput without my staff burning out.
Rebecca Hayes
CTO
Radiant Health Analytics
Our radiology SaaS needed HL7 listeners and async FastAPI services fast. Smartbrain.io delivered two senior engineers in 48 hrs; onboarding was literally one Zoom. Claim creation latency shrank by 35 % and my core team focused on UI innovation.
Carlos Mitchell
VP Engineering
ScanCloud Inc.
Narrow domain knowledge is rare. Their devs already knew payer portals, HIPAA, and Radiology billing logic. Within a sprint they refactored our Django micro-services, adding Celery queues that cleared a 40k-image backlog overnight. Productivity up, overtime down.
Linda Owens
Director of Product
ClearVision Diagnostics
We hit a wall mapping ICD-10 to CPT codes; Smartbrain’s augmented Python engineer shipped an AI-assisted matcher using pandas & TensorFlow. Reimbursement accuracy rose 12 % in month one, pleasing Finance and freeing my devs for core roadmap features.
Angela Scott
Engineering Manager
OptiRad Solutions
Needed four extra senior devs during audit crunch. Smartbrain onboarded them inside 72 hrs; they wrote robust PyTest, integrated Redis caching and improved claim scrubber speed by 42 %. Zero cultural friction, full compliance certificates provided.
Jacob Lee
Dev Team Lead
BlueMountain Imaging
The augmented developer from Smartbrain rewrote our legacy VB billing module into modern Python, leveraging SQLAlchemy and FHIR. Revenue-cycle KPIs improved and auditors praised the new code quality. The flexible monthly contract meant no long-term HR burden.

Industries we empower
Hospital Revenue Cycle
Hospitals process thousands of imaging claims daily. Our augmented Python developers automate DICOM metadata extraction, perform real-time CPT code validations, and integrate with Epic or Cerner billing to reboot speed and accuracy. They also embed HL7 listeners that sync results to your revenue-cycle engine, reducing manual data entry and payer rejection rates. Scalability, HIPAA compliance, and continuous monitoring are baked in, letting finance teams focus on reimbursement strategy—not tab-switching.
Telehealth Platforms
Virtual care exploded, yet many platforms lack automated imaging billing. We plug Python-based micro-services that queue images, classify procedure codes with ML and push EDI 837 files to clearinghouses. Rapid scalability handles spikes from video consults, while analytics dashboards reveal reimbursement bottlenecks in seconds.
Insurance Technology
Payors leverage our engineers to build fraud-detection pipelines around imaging claims, using pandas and PySpark to flag duplicate CPT submissions and abusive patterns. Automation slashes adjudication time, improves member satisfaction and meets strict NAIC audit metrics.
Diagnostics SaaS
Lab & imaging SaaS vendors embed Python SDKs created by our developers for one-click billing automation. Features include PACS-integrated invoicing, FHIR APIs and AI-assisted code assignment, accelerating go-live for every new customer tenant.
Healthtech Startups
Need to impress investors fast? Augmented Python specialists prototype billing automation MVPs in weeks, connecting Stripe, QuickBooks and medical coding libraries, giving founders a polished demo without diluting equity hiring a full permanent team.
Research Institutions
University hospitals juggle grant-funded imaging studies. Our engineers build grant-code aware billing systems that segregate charge lines automatically, preserving compliance and freeing researchers to publish rather than reconcile spreadsheets.
Imaging Equipment Vendors
OEMs bundle Python-driven billing toolkits with scanners, allowing seamless post-scan charge capture. Our devs optimize firmware payloads, expose FHIR endpoints and handle OTA updates so vendors differentiate on service, not just hardware.
Billing Service Providers
Third-party RCM firms rely on Smartbrain talent to scale white-label Python billing engines. Multi-tenant architecture, strong RBAC and automated client onboarding reduce marginal costs and win bigger radiology groups.
AI Radiology Applications
Deep-learning vendors often neglect the last mile—billing. Our augmented devs wire Python AI inference results directly into automated claim builders, marrying accuracy gains with faster cash collection.
medical imaging billing automation success stories
72-Hour Claim Scrubber Deployment
Client: Regional radiology chain with 14 outpatient centers.
Challenge: Manual workflows slowed medical imaging billing automation and caused mounting denials.
Solution: Two Smartbrain Python specialists integrated a Flask micro-service that extracted DICOM metadata, matched CPT/ICD-10 pairs via a rules engine, and published clean EDI files to the payer portal—all in parallel to legacy RIS.
Result: Denial rate dropped by 18 % inside the first billing cycle and monthly revenue accelerated by $2.1 M.
ML-Driven Code Prediction
Client: VC-backed AI radiology startup.
Challenge: Scalability issues hampered medical imaging billing automation once study volume hit 500k per month.
Solution: Our augmented team built a Spark-based pipeline on AWS EMR that feeds imaging metadata into a LightGBM model predicting optimal CPT codes, while a FastAPI layer exposes REST endpoints to customers.
Result: Throughput increased by 4×; average claim preparation time fell from 12 min to 2 min.
Legacy VB to Python Modernization
Client: Public hospital network’s billing office.
Challenge: Outdated VB application blocked reliable medical imaging billing automation and failed ICD-10 updates.
Solution: Four Smartbrain engineers rewrote the system in Django, added Celery task queues, and established HL7/FHIR bridges to Cerner.
Result: Processing latency dropped by 47 %, audit findings went to zero, and IT maintenance costs shrank by 30 %.
