We are looking for a Risk Adjustment Coding Specialist to own retrospective CDI chart review and strengthen coding compliance, documentation accuracy, and risk adjustment optimization across our Medicare-focused primary care model. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in Medicare risk adjustment, a strong understanding of outpatient clinical documentation, and the ability to translate complex coding requirements into practical guidance for clinical and revenue teams.
