    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.
