Job Summary and Responsibilities

As our Coder Lead, you will be a pivotal leader in our revenue cycle management team, serving as a trainer, resource, and mentor for other coders and staff. Your expertise will be crucial in coordinating the daily coding workflow, ensuring the accurate assignment of ICD-10 and CPT codes for moderately complex cases. You'll be responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and production standards of our coding team, acting as a go-to expert for complex coding and billing issues within our healthcare ministry.

Every day you will train staff on coding processes, policies, and systems, including new hires, and contribute to continuing education efforts. You'll coordinate coding assignments, manage workflow, and perform quality reviews to identify and resolve discrepancies. Acting as a subject matter expert, you will troubleshoot difficult coding problems, liaise between physicians and support staff to resolve issues related to coding, billing, and documentation, and provide valuable input on employee evaluations and strategic reporting for clinic and revenue cycle leaders.

To be successful in this medical coding leadership role, you will need 5-7 years of coding experience in a healthcare organization, combined with a strong background in medical terminology, anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. Relevant certifications such as Certified Professional Coder (CPC), Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), or Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT/RHIA) are preferred.
