Job description

Title: Inpatient Coder
Location: 100% Remote
Compensation: $35-42/hr
Structure: 6 month-1 year Contract-to-Hire
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). This contract-to-hire opportunity is part of an initiative to insource Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) teams. 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
