The ideal candidate will have a strong background in original coding, coding audits, and claims support across a variety of practice types. This role is critical to ensuring accurate, timely, and compliant claim submissions for both professional (HCFA/1500) and institutional (UB-04) claims.
• *Key Responsibilities:**
• Perform original coding for professional and institutional claims.
• Conduct coding audits to ensure accuracy and compliance with payer guidelines.
• Provide coding assistance to the billing team, including recommending replacement codes in case of claim rejections or denials.
• Work collaboratively to reduce claim rejections, improve first-pass resolution rates, and maximize reimbursement.
• *Requirements:**
• Current certification as a CPC, CCS, or equivalent (must be verifiable).
• Experience with both professional and institutional claim formats.
• Strong knowledge of CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10-CM, and payer-specific coding guidelines.
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and maintain accuracy under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills and willingness to collaborate with billing staff.
• Must use the Upwork time tracker for all logged hours.
• *Compensation:**
• $7 per hour (contract role, ongoing work).
• Strict adherence to productivity standards is required. “Milking the clock” will not be tolerated — we value efficiency and measurable results.
• *Additional Notes:**
We seek someone proactive, solution-oriented, and committed to high-quality coding practices. If you enjoy problem-solving and helping practices maximize reimbursement, we’d love to work with you.
