Description
Remote Medical Coder (Minnesota)
Accuracy isn’t just a skill here—it’s a superpower. If you see the details others miss and take pride in turning clinical language into clear data that drives real decisions, you’ll thrive in this role.
Our remote medical coding position is more than claims and compliance. It’s about protecting patient stories, ensuring every treatment is accurately reflected, and providing healthcare teams with the data clarity they need to deliver world-class care. This is your opportunity to lead the charge in a role where precision fuels progress.
Key Contributions You Will Make
Shape Critical Healthcare Outcomes
- Transform physician documentation into clear, accurate CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS codes that reflect the full scope of care.
- Guide reimbursement outcomes by ensuring claims align with the latest payer guidelines and medical necessity standards.
- Flag documentation gaps and collaborate with clinical staff to fill them—so nothing gets lost in translation.
- Play a key role in audit preparedness and compliance reviews that protect both patients and providers.
- Surface patterns that reveal coding opportunities, claim denials, or revenue risks, helping leadership take proactive action.
Your input doesn’t just ensure compliance—it safeguards patient access, optimizes care delivery, and supports ethical billing practices that providers and patients can both trust.
Collaborative Impact Across Teams
Your Work Supports a Network of Care
Behind every clean claim is a coder who understands context. You’ll work alongside clinical and billing professionals to close documentation gaps, interpret complex procedures, and maintain data integrity throughout the revenue cycle. But you’re not alone in the work—you’ll have a supportive, collaborative environment to share insights, tackle roadblocks, and grow together.
- Partner remotely with providers, billing specialists, and quality assurance teams.
- Contribute to faster approvals for patients and cleaner data for administrators.
- Serve as a coding advisor who helps cross-functional teams understand nuances that could make or break a claim.
- Offer insights that influence upstream documentation practices and help providers chart more efficiently.
A Look at Your Daily Routine
Structured, Focused Coding Workflow
We value deep work, which means your day is designed for thoughtful focus—not endless interruptions. A typical day will include:
- Reviewing 50–80 clinical encounters across high-volume specialties such as internal medicine, cardiology, gastroenterology, or orthopedics.
- Navigating EHR platforms like Epic or Cerner with agility, extracting key clinical elements for precise coding.
- Engaging in asynchronous messaging with providers through our secure system to clarify ambiguous notes or missing components.
- Logging daily productivity stats that reflect not just volume, but depth and accuracy.
- Participating in short morning huddles with your team to align on priorities, identify blockers, and celebrate wins.
Each task you complete has purpose—contributing directly to the accuracy, speed, and transparency of our billing process.
