Insight Global is seeking a fully remote medical coding specialist (inpatient) to support a healthcare AI client. This is a part-time, fully remote opportunity where candidates will leverage their inpatient coding expertise to evaluate and improve AI-driven coding recommendations.

Laptop and equipment will be provided.

Shift times: flexible scheduling within Monday-Friday, 9am-8pm PST (can't work weekends) (must be available 10-20 hours/week from 9am-8pm PST // ideal for individuals seeking additional income)

Responsibilities:

• Review inpatient encounters and evaluate AI-generated coding recommendations across diagnosis and procedure coding
• Assess the accuracy and reasoning behind ICD-10-CM/PCS code assignments, sequencing, and DRG selection (MS-DRG/APR-DRG)
• Identify discrepancies where AI-generated outputs diverge from correct inpatient coding practices and explain the rationale
• Provide insight into complex coding decisions, including cases requiring clinical interpretation beyond documentation (lab values, treatment patterns, physician documentation habits)
• Share inpatient coding expertise with product teams to refine AI logic and improve code assignment accuracy
• Partner with GTM teams to critique presentations and provide subject matter expertise on inpatient coding workflows
