Medical Coding & Appeals Specialist (HYBRID)

Job Description

Champion Accurate Coding. Win Appeals. Make an Impact.
Primarily Remote | Monthly Onsite

 

Love the challenge of proving you’re right?
This role is for coders who don’t just assign codes — they defend them.

You’ll be part of a team that ensures providers are paid accurately for the care they deliver. When a payer says no, you build the case that turns it into yes. Your coding expertise, clinical insight, and persistence directly impact reimbursement and provider success.

 

What makes this role exciting

  • You’ll advocate for correct payment, not just code charts
  • Your work directly reverses denials and underpayments
  • You’ll collaborate with physicians, payers, and fellow coding experts
  • Every appeal you win is a tangible victory

 

What you’ll do

  • Review medical records to validate accurate ICD‑10, CPT, and HCPCS coding
  • Identify documentation or coding issues that impact reimbursement
  • Build, submit, and follow payer appeals through resolution using coding and clinical guidelines
  • Research payer policies and apply them to denials, underpayments, and appeal strategies
  • Partner with physicians to clarify documentation and strengthen appeals
  • Perform charge corrections when coding or billing discrepancies are identified
  • Work Epic billing work queues and tasks, including reviewing remittance advice for rejections and payment accuracy
  • Support team members with medical terminology, coding guidance, and payer policy interpretation

 

What you bring

  • Solid knowledge of ICD‑10 and CPT (HCPCS experience a plus)
  • Experience in medical claims, denials, accounts receivable, or revenue cycle operations
  • Comfort working in Epic or similar billing systems to manage claims and follow‑up
  • Confidence communicating coding decisions to payers and providers
  • A problem‑solving mindset and strong attention to detail

 

Required certification (one required)

AHIMA: CCA, CCS, CCS‑P, RHIT, RHIA
AAPC: CPC, CPC‑A, CPC‑H, CPC‑H‑A (or approved specialty credential)

 

Why you’ll love it here

  • Primarily remote with just one onsite day per month
  • Work that’s meaningful, visible, and measurable
  • A team that values your voice, expertise, and curiosity
  • The satisfaction of knowing your work protects provider revenue
