What is an independent contractor medical billing & coding?

An Independent Contractor Medical Billing & Coding job involves handling medical claims, coding diagnoses and procedures, and ensuring accurate billing for healthcare providers on a freelance or contract basis. Instead of working as an employee, contractors work independently with various clients, setting their own schedules and managing their workload. They must stay updated on industry regulations, insurance policies, and coding guidelines like ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS. Many independent contractors work remotely and must have strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and knowledge of medical terminology.

What does an independent contractor medical billing & coding do?

As an Independent Contractor Medical Billing & Coding professional, your daily responsibilities often include reviewing patient medical records, assigning accurate codes for diagnoses and procedures, preparing and submitting insurance claims, and following up on delayed or denied reimbursements. You may also respond to insurance company inquiries, maintain detailed billing records, and ensure compliance with industry regulations such as HIPAA. Since you’re working independently, managing your schedule, prioritizing work for multiple clients, and maintaining strong communication are all important. This variety of tasks allows for flexibility but requires strong organizational and problem-solving skills for success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for an independent contractor medical billing & coding?

To thrive as an Independent Contractor Medical Billing & Coding professional, you need in-depth knowledge of medical terminology, coding systems (ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS), and insurance procedures, usually supported by formal training or certification (such as CPC, CCS, or equivalent). Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, medical billing software, and payer portals is essential for processing claims efficiently. Strong self-motivation, attention to detail, and effective time management set high performers apart in this independent role. These competencies ensure accurate claims processing, prompt reimbursement, and effective client relationships in a remote or self-managed setting.

Our client is experiencing significant growth, expanding from approximately 18 locations to more than 60 offices across 18 states. We are seeking experienced, energetic Medical Billers & Coders to join their growing Revenue Cycle team.


This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience across medical billing, coding and insurance follow-up who enjoys working in a fast-paced physician practice environment. The ideal candidate takes ownership of their work, knows how to research difficult claims and denials, and is comfortable working across the revenue cycle to ensure claims are coded, billed and resolved accurately.


Key Responsibilities

  • Review medical documentation and accurately assign appropriate CPT, ICD-10-CM codes and applicable modifiers
  • Review claims for accuracy, completeness and appropriate coding prior to submission
  • Manage billing and insurance follow-up for a high-volume, multi-physician practice
  • Submit and follow up on Workers' Compensation and commercial insurance claims

  • Review EOBs, payer responses and claim status information and take appropriate corrective action
  • Correct coding and billing errors and resubmit claims when necessary

  • Identify denial trends and escalate recurring payer, coding or billing issues

  • Maintain detailed account notes documenting follow-up and resolution
  • Follow claims through final resolution, rather than simply completing the initial billing or follow-up
  • Maintain productivity and accuracy standards in a high-volume environment
  • Stay current on coding guidelines, payer requirements and reimbursement changes


Qualifications

  • Understanding of the medical billing and reimbursement cycle
  • Experience researching and resolving insurance denials, rejected claims and aged A/R
  • Ability to interpret EOBs, payer correspondence and claim status information
  • Ability to research issues independently and follow claims through resolution
  • Strong attention to detail and communication skills
  • Self-motivated, accountable and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Experience with eClinicalWorks is a plus; candidates with other EMR/practice management system experience will also be considered


Highly Preferred Experience/Experience in any of the following areas is especially valuable:

  • Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC)
  • Interventional spine or pain management
  • Orthopedic or spine physician practices
  • High-volume, multi-physician practices
  • In-office imaging
