Requirements

• Strong, recent hands on experience with medical or behavioral health coding and auditing.
• Comfortable auditing and correcting coded claims.
• Strong written communication, able to explain a documentation issue clearly enough for a provider to fix it.
• Reliable, self directed, and comfortable working independently.
• Willingness to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and comply with HIPAA requirements for handling protected health information (PHI).

Nice To Haves

• Certification (CPC) is a plus but not required if experience is strong.
• Behavioral health/psych coding background, especially E/M and psychotherapy coding.
• Prior audit and compliance based experience.

Responsibilities

• Audit coded claims against underlying clinical documentation to identify unsupported codes, documentation gaps, and recurring errors.
• Code claims directly, spending part of your time on direct coding work.
• Flag documentation patterns, with enough specificity to support clinician facing compliance feedback.
• Respond to payer audits as they come in, handling documentation requests and audit responses alongside our Head of RCM.
• Support MIPS/QPP eligibility review for our provider portfolio.
• Escalate unclear or exception cases rather than guessing.
• Maintain accurate records of audit findings and coding activity using our tracking tools.

Benefits

• Work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Flexible, part time schedule.
• Direct exposure to behavioral health coding across a multi-state, multi-specialty provider portfolio.
