Coder I – Turn Clinical Notes into Code That Matters

Are you someone who finds joy in precision, patterns, and purpose? As a Coder I, you’ll be a vital part of transforming medical documentation into clean, compliant, and accurate coding — making a real impact behind the scenes of patient care.

In this role, you'll review professional services across multiple medical specialties and assign the correct ICD-10-CM, procedure, and E/M codes, all while staying on top of AMA and CMS guidelines. After a short onsite onboarding period, the position shifts to fully remote (with the occasional onsite visit for special training or projects).

What You Bring to the Table:

• Associate’s degree or equivalent education/experience
• Active coding certification: CPC-A, COC-A, RHIT, or RHIA
• Solid knowledge of reimbursement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payers
• Familiar with medical billing systems, NCCI edits, LCDs, and correct coding sequences
• Comfortable with computer systems, EHRs, and billing platforms
• Clear communicator with a sharp eye for detail

🌟 Bonus Skills We Love:

• Experience in an academic teaching healthcare setting
• Credentials like CCA, CPC, or CPC-H (physician-based coding)

Why You'll Love This Role:

• Remote flexibility
• Exposure to a variety of specialties — always learning, never boring
• Supportive team environment with growth opportunities
• Your accuracy and expertise directly contribute to better healthcare delivery

If you're passionate about getting the details right and want a role where your work truly matters, this could be the perfect fit. Let’s code something meaningful together.
