Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Clinic Coder I, you will play a crucial role in the financial integrity and data accuracy of our organization, responsible for abstracting and coding patient records in strict compliance with established coding, billing, and data collection guidelines. This entry-level medical coding specialist position focuses on less complex coding, providing a foundational opportunity within our Revenue Cycle division to directly contribute to effective healthcare operations.

Every day you will meticulously review medical and pathology records to determine the most appropriate diagnoses, accurately abstracting information into our coding systems. You'll apply ICD-10-CM and CPT-4 coding rules and guidelines to assign MS-DRGs and APCs, sequence diagnostic and procedural codes, and provide necessary codes to various departments upon request. Your role involves entering and validating charges, identifying and resolving discrepancies between charges and coded procedures, and collaborating with the Coding Manager to rectify accounts, ensuring precise and compliant billing for patient care.

To be successful in this healthcare coding role, you will need strong attention to detail, a commitment to accuracy, and a foundational understanding of medical terminology and coding principles. While no prior experience is explicitly listed as a minimum, a proactive attitude towards learning and adherence to established policies and procedures is essential. Preferred certifications like CPC, CCS, or CCA will be a significant asset, demonstrating your dedication to professional coding standards and your readiness to contribute to efficient revenue cycle management within our team.
