Job description

Evolve Psychiatry is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Professional Medical Coder to join our growing behavioral health practice. We are looking for someone with strong knowledge of medical coding, documentation requirements, and insurance guidelines who can help ensure our services are coded accurately, compliantly, and efficiently.

The ideal candidate has experience coding for psychiatry, behavioral health, or other outpatient medical specialties and is comfortable reviewing provider documentation and identifying coding or documentation concerns.

Responsibilities
  • Review clinical documentation and assign accurate CPT, ICD10CM, and applicable HCPCS codes
  • Ensure coding is supported by provider documentation and meets payer and regulatory requirements
  • Review Evaluation & Management (E/M) coding for accuracy and appropriate level selection
  • Review psychiatry and psychotherapy coding, including commonly used codes such as 9921299215, 90833, 90836, 90837, and related behavioral health services
  • Identify coding errors, inconsistencies, undercoding, overcoding, and documentation deficiencies
  • Provide guidance to providers and administrative staff regarding proper coding and documentation
  • Stay current on CMS, commercial insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, and behavioral health coding guidelines
  • Assist with coding audits and compliance reviews
  • Research codingrelated denials and recommend corrective action when appropriate
  • Help develop and maintain internal coding policies and best practices
  • Work closely with billing, management, and clinical teams to improve coding accuracy and reimbursement
  • Maintain strict HIPAA compliance and patient confidentiality
  • Qualifications
  • 3+ years of professional medical coding experience preferred
  • Previous experience with psychiatry, behavioral health, or mental health coding strongly preferred
  • Strong knowledge of CPT, ICD10CM, HCPCS, and E/M coding guidelines
  • Professional coding certification REQUIRED, such as CPC, CCS, COC, or equivalent
  • Experience reviewing provider documentation and conducting coding audits
  • Knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer requirements
  • Strong understanding of coding compliance and documentation standards
  • Ability to clearly explain coding requirements and provide constructive feedback to providers
  • Experience with electronic health records and practice management systems; eClinicalWorks (eCW) experience is a plus
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with clinical, billing, and administrative teams
  • What We’re Looking For

    We are looking for more than someone who can simply enter codes. We want an experienced coding professional who understands the relationship between clinical documentation, coding compliance, reimbursement, and payer requirements.

    The right candidate will be proactive, highly detail-oriented, comfortable identifying potential compliance concerns, and confident educating providers and staff on proper coding practices.
