• Develop reference answers explaining the reasoning and applicable coding guidelines behind each decision.
• Evaluate AI-generated coding for accuracy, documentation support, and compliance.
• Identify code selections that appear reasonable but would not withstand professional review or audit.
• Provide clear explanations of coding decisions and guideline application.

Qualifications

• CPC (AAPC) or CCS (AHIMA) certification in good standing.
• At least 2 years of production medical coding experience.
• Strong working knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS.
• Hands-on experience interpreting clinical documentation and determining appropriate codes.
• Ability to clearly explain coding decisions and guideline logic in written English.
• Availability to contribute at least 10 hours per week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Inpatient coding experience.

• Independent contractor engagement.
• Minimum 10 hours per week with no stated maximum.
• Flexible workload that can increase or decrease according to your availability and project needs.
