• Maintain project documentation including status updates, issue tracking, and mitigation strategies.

• Travel to client or organizational sites as required to support on-the-ground project execution.

Required:

• Active CCS, CPC, or equivalent coding credential required.

• Demonstrated hands-on coding experience, with specialty expertise in cardiology and neurosurgery.
