What is a remote entry level risk adjustment coder?

Remote entry level risk adjustment coders are professionals who review medical records and assign diagnostic codes from their home or another remote location. Their main responsibility is to ensure accurate coding of patient diagnoses so that healthcare organizations receive appropriate risk adjustment payments from insurance providers, such as Medicare Advantage plans. Entry level positions typically require knowledge of medical terminology and coding systems (like ICD-10-CM), but may offer training for new coders. Working remotely allows these coders to perform their duties outside of a traditional office setting, providing flexibility and access to jobs across different locations.
