This is a 1099 independent contractor role structured around our project pipeline: once onboarded, you'll be added to our roster of qualified coders and contacted as matching project work becomes available.

  • Submit completed work and time entries according to project requirements


Responsibilities (when not actively assigned)

  • Maintain access to client systems by logging in once a month


Required Qualifications

  • Completion and passing of the Revu Healthcare inpatient coding assessment
  • Active CCS and/or RHIT certification from AHIMA
  • Minimum 5 years of inpatient coding experience
  • Prior coding audit or validation experience
  • Ability to commit to 15+ hours per week when actively assigned to a project
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding guidelines
    • MS-DRG and APR-DRG methodology
    • Inpatient facility coding
  • Experience working in various EMR systems
  • Proficiency with:
    • Microsoft Teams
    • Microsoft Outlook
    • Excel
  • Strong written communication skills for audit rationales
  • Ability to work independently and meet deadlines


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with clinical documentation integrity (CDI) collaboration
  • Experience with Epic or Cerner
  • Prior consulting or contract coding experience
  • Familiarity with audit scorecards and QA processes
  • Specialization in complex/critical care inpatient coding
  • Experience with severity of illness/risk of mortality (SOI/ROM) validation
  • Facility/technical coding experience


Additional Information

  • This is a remote, flexible, project-based independent contractor role. Successful applicants are added to Revu Healthcare's talent roster and contacted as project opportunities arise that match their qualifications.
  • There is no guarantee of a minimum number of hours, ongoing work, or a specific start date; assignment timing depends entirely on client project demand.
  • Contractors are permitted, but not required, to work weekends and after-hours (5:00 PM9:00 AM ET) if it suits their schedule; work may be completed at any time within project deadlines.
  • Contractors must maintain their own equipment and secure internet connection.
