Join a Remote Revolution in Healthcare Documentation

Imagine transforming the future of medical coding without ever stepping foot in an office. Welcome to a fully remote opportunity where creativity, precision, and healthcare expertise unite.

With a salary of $48,929 per year, you’ll find more than just financial stability—you’ll discover a career that inspires impact and ingenuity.

About the Role

This isn't just about codes and classifications. As a Remote Coding Specialist, you'll decode clinical documentation, turning it into actionable information that improves patient care, billing accuracy, and healthcare operations. Your work will sit at the intersection of data integrity and medical excellence. If you love working independently, thrive on solving documentation puzzles, and enjoy a bit of nerdy detail work sprinkled with a dash of creativity, you might be our perfect match.

• Review and validate diagnosis and procedure codes in compliance with regulatory guidelines.
• Collaborate with physicians and clinical teams to clarify ambiguities and ensure coding completeness.
• Ensure timely coding completion to support the billing process
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding systems
• Navigate through EMR (Electronic Medical Records) and billing platforms with grace and skill
• Audit coding accuracy to improve performance and compliance outcomes
• Participate in virtual team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and knowledge-sharing initiatives

The Day-to-Day Work Environment

You’ll be working from your favorite chair, sipping on your go-to beverage, surrounded by your personal productivity setup. No sterile office cubicles, no awkward watercooler chats. Instead, you’ll connect with passionate professionals across the country via vibrant Slack channels, Zoom calls with flair, and shared dashboards bursting with insights. Expect support, flexibility, and a community that values both structure and innovation.

Whether you're reviewing documentation or joining a quirky virtual team huddle, you'll be part of a dynamic environment that values people just as much as performance.

• Encoder software (3M, TruCode, etc.)

• Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel and Word
• Communication platforms like Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams
• Dual monitors (seriously, they make all the difference!)

• Certification through AHIMA (CCS, RHIA, RHIT) or AAPC (CPC, CRC, or equivalent)
• Minimum of 2 years of recent experience in medical coding, preferably in an outpatient or hospital setting
• In-depth knowledge of HIPAA guidelines, medical terminology, and anatomy/physiology
• Experienced in collaborating across virtual platforms and navigating cloud-based systems
• Excellent attention to detail, but also able to see the big picture
• Driven, resourceful, and highly skilled at managing tasks independently like a boss
• Bonus points if you've got a sense of humor and love a good team meme
