Remote Orthopedic Surgery Coder

Ever Had to Untangle a 10-Procedure Surgery Note on a Monday Morning?

If so, you know the thrill (and challenge) of getting every single code exactly right, because every detail matters. Here, you’re more than a coder. You’re a trusted partner to surgeons and providers, transforming their expertise into the language of healthcare and turning a mountain of documentation into smooth, timely reimbursements. If you believe great coding is about curiosity, accuracy, and real-world impact, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Why Your Work Changes Everything

Behind every orthopedic chart is a patient who’s counting on things running smoothly—so they get the care (and the coverage) they need, when they need it. You’re not just entering codes; you’re closing gaps, solving problems, and flagging trends before anyone else sees them. When denials drop and providers sigh with relief, that’s your work at its heart.

How You Make a Difference—Every Single Day

• 🏥 You Make Surgeons Look Good: Clean, correct coding means surgeons spend less time on paperwork and more time helping people walk, run, and live pain-free.
• 💡 You Spot What Others Miss: Maybe it’s a missing modifier, a documentation slip, or a code that doesn’t quite match the story—you catch it, fix it, and help everyone learn from it.
• 🚀 You Keep Things Moving: Ever saved a claim from the denial pile? That’s real impact. You anticipate payer quirks and keep cash flowing.
• 📈 You Turn Numbers Into Insight: Your work builds the foundation for smart business moves, quality initiatives, and even research that shapes the future of orthopedics.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• 🌎 Remote—But Never Isolated: Work where you’re happiest, with zero commute and true focus time. Our team stays connected, but your space is yours.
• ⏳ You’re Trusted: No micromanaging—just support when you need it and the freedom to do your best work.
• 🤝 Collaboration That Feels Real: Sometimes you’re chatting with a surgeon about an op note, sometimes swapping ideas with a biller who’s seen it all. We value every voice at the table.
• 🧠 Never Stop Growing: New procedures, new rules, new codes—there’s always something to master, and you’ll have the tools and community to stay ahead.

What Your Days Really Look Like

• 🔍 You’re a Detective: Every op note tells a story, and you’re the one who figures out exactly what happened (and how to code it).
• 🗂️ You’re the Last Line of Defense: When the documentation’s fuzzy, you ask questions, clarify, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• 📞 You Make Learning Happen: Sometimes it’s a quick note, sometimes it’s a teaching moment—you help providers and teammates get better every day.
• 🚦 You Make Payments Happen Faster: Accurate coding means fewer denials, less back-and-forth, and money in the right place.
• 📊 You Make Audits No Big Deal: With your attention to detail, audit trails are solid, and stress levels stay low.

Tools and Tech—Nothing Slows You Down

• 🖥️ EHRs You Already Know: Epic, Cerner, athena—if it’s out there, you’ve probably used it. Our tools are here to help, not get in your way.
• 🔒 Always Secure, Always Connected: We use encrypted platforms for every conversation, so you can focus on teamwork, not tech headaches.
• 📚 Learning Never Stops: Access to the latest codebooks, orthopedic updates, and team resources is always at your fingertips.
