A Contract Coder is a professional who reviews medical records and assigns standardized codes for billing, insurance claims, and data analysis. They typically work on a contract or freelance basis for healthcare providers, hospitals, or insurance companies. This role requires knowledge of medical terminology, coding systems like ICD-10 and CPT, and compliance regulations. Contract Coders ensure accurate medical documentation and proper reimbursement while often working remotely or on a flexible schedule.

Experience with coding software, electronic health records (EHRs), and claims management platforms is highly valued.

Contract Coders often work remotely or on-site for healthcare organizations, medical billing companies, or consulting firms, depending on the needs of the client. Assignments may range from short-term projects to longer contracts, with the flexibility to manage your own schedule and workload. Most contract coders collaborate virtually with other coding professionals, auditors, and healthcare staff, using secure platforms to handle sensitive medical information. This setup allows professionals to work from diverse locations while maintaining productivity and confidentiality. It is important to have reliable internet access and be comfortable with independent, deadline-driven tasks.

ABOUT THE ROLE
Our client is seeking experienced Inpatient Coders to join a large-scale ramp-up supporting a major system transition to Epic (Epic Go-Live).

The role requires high-quality, detail-oriented professionals with strong QA focus and the ability to code complex cases in high-acuity settings.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Review, analyze, and accurately code inpatient medical records using ICD-10-CM/PCS and other relevant coding systems
  • Ensure coding quality and compliance with regulatory and organizational standards, maintaining ~95% accuracy
  • Meet productivity targets by coding 2.0-2.5 charts per hour while prioritizing quality over quantity
  • Apply specialty-specific coding expertise in areas such as Cardiovascular, NICU, Interventional Radiology, Orthopedics, Neurology, and OB/Mother-Baby, as assigned
  • Utilize Epic as the primary EHR system, some exposure to legacy systems like Meditech
  • Participate in QA oversight, audits, and feedback processes to support continuous improvement and maintain high standards
  • Attend required meetings and maintain alignment with team schedules; flexible work arrangements are available post-training
  • Collaborate with team members and leadership to support a streamlined onboarding and transition process during Epic Go-Live
  • Maintain confidentiality and security of patient health information in accordance with HIPAA and organizational policies
  • Engage in ongoing professional development and certification maintenance (CCS, RHIT, or other AHIMA/AAPC credentials)

WHAT YOU BRING
  • CCS (Certified Coding Specialist) or RHIT (Registered Health Information Technician) certification required
  • Additional AHIMA/AAPC certifications (e.g., CIC, CCS-P, CVIP) are a plus
  • 4+ years of inpatient coding experience required (5+ years preferred); Coder III level preferred
  • Experience in academic/teaching hospitals and/or trauma centers/high-acuity facilities strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to code complex cases and procedures, especially in high-priority specialties (Cardiovascular, NICU, IR, Orthopedics, Neurology, OB/Mother-Baby)
  • Ability to meet productivity targets (~2.0-2.5 charts/hour) and maintain ~95% accuracy, with a strong quality assurance focus
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote environment, with flexibility to attend meetings and align with team hours
  • Commitment to ongoing learning and professional development

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
  • Remote work with flexible scheduling post-training
  • All necessary equipment provided (laptop, dual monitors, headset)
  • Opportunity to work with a leading healthcare organization during a major Epic system transition
  • Collaborative team environment with strong QA oversight and support
  • Contract-to-hire pathway with potential for long-term placement
  • Professional development and certification support
