In this senior, primarily remote position, you will independently review professional provider documentation, translate findings into practical education, and help clinical and executive partners resolve complex coding questions.

A typical day as a Professional Coding Provider Educator may look like...

• Deliver respectful, practical education to physicians and advanced practice professionals based on audit findings and documentation improvement opportunities.
• Analyze a high volume of questions from providers, practice and regional managers, and senior executives; identify the core issue and provide guidance or engage the appropriate organizational team.

This role may be for you if...

• You work independently, manage competing priorities, and require limited day-to-day direction after organizational onboarding.
• You combine strong professional coding knowledge with critical thinking, sound judgment, and careful source validation.
• You independently create polished PowerPoint education and explain complex requirements clearly to clinical and executive audiences.
• You recognize the difference between coding guidance, documentation improvement, payer policy, and operational or workflow concerns.
• You are comfortable researching unfamiliar specialty issues, acknowledging uncertainty, and professionally defending well-supported conclusions.

• Active AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) credential.
• CPC-I strongly preferred
• CPMA strongly preferred at hire and required within six months of employment if not already held.
• At least five years of recent professional fee coding experience, including provider documentation reviews or audits and physician or advanced practice professional education.
• Advanced expertise in at least one clinical specialty; priority needs include:
  • Cardiology and Orthopedics, with Urology, Neurology, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or another high-volume specialty also valued.
• Demonstrated advanced PowerPoint creation, coding research, written audit reporting, presentation, analytical, and critical-thinking skills.
• Experience in a large multispecialty medical group, academic medical center, or integrated health system and Epic experience preferred.
• Willingness to support specialties outside the primary area of expertise based on organizational needs.
• Ability to attend planned on-site meetings, provider education, and business travel as required.
