To thrive as a Medical Coder I, you need a solid understanding of medical terminology, anatomy, and coding systems such as ICD-10-CM and CPT, often supported by a relevant certification like CPC or CCA. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) software and coding databases is essential for accurate and efficient work. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for ensuring precise code assignment and resolving discrepancies with healthcare teams. These skills and qualities are vital for maintaining compliance, optimizing reimbursement, and supporting the integrity of patient health records.

Medical Coder I professionals often encounter challenges such as interpreting complex medical records, staying updated with ever-changing coding guidelines (like ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS), and ensuring accuracy under tight deadlines. They must frequently communicate with healthcare providers to resolve ambiguities in documentation, which requires both diligence and strong interpersonal skills. Adapting to new software systems and maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations are also key aspects that can make the role demanding but rewarding for those who enjoy detail-oriented work.

Job description

Join our team as an Inpatient Coder!

This includes excellent working knowledge of revenue charge capture and the impact to hospital billing (i.e. soft vs. hard coded charges),working knowledge of revenue codes, relevant grouper function and financial impact; assessment and entry of surgical charges (i.e. supplies, implants), and pharmacy charges (i.e. contrast, patient supplied, etc).
This position is remote. Applicants must reside in one of the following states: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

  • Ability to comprehend medical record documentation to accurately assign codes for both concurrent and discharged accounts across multiple specialties.
  • Meets minimum requirements for production and quality monthly.
  • Requires a working knowledge of code sequencing for grouper-related payers with attention to detail to avoid rework and waste with charge capture assessment component.
  • Requires understanding and application of M.E.A.T. criteria (i.e., monitoring, evaluation, assessment, treatment) using ICD 10 CM transaction data set to capture diagnoses.
  • Analyzes high-risk encounters for accurate and/or missing charges gaps prior to encounter completion (i.e., missing charges from anesthesia, surgery) when manual charge capture occurs.
  • Understand complexity of billing requirements and incorporates payer specific trends into day-to-day reviews to reduce "take backs" associated with un-clear, or un-substantiated care rendered. (i.e., varying modifier assignment for EAPG vs. Non-EAPG payer specificity)
  • Requires excellent coding knowledge of ICD 10 CM, CPT 4, and modifier application, with expectations to maintain certification (i.e., CCS, CPC, RHIT, or RHIA) and apply ICD 10 CM Coding Guidelines specific to both inpatient and outpatient encounters.

    • Qualifications:
  • Minimum education of an Associate's degree required
  • Medical Terminology, Anatomy and Physiology required
  • One of the following certifications required: CPC, CCS, RHIT, RHIA, COC (please include on resume)
