  • Post completed coded charts into the workflow and coordinate with QA for spot checks and rework.
  • Meet daily/weekly throughput and accuracy SLAs; maintain documentation of coding rationale for audit trails.
  • Participate in sprint-based workflows (time-boxed batches), daily standups and retrospectives to continuously improve throughput and accuracy.
  • Contribute to internal coding guidance (cheat sheets), payer-specific rules library, and training for new hires.

  • Familiar with Medicare billing rules, payer edits, and claim formats (UB-04/1500/837).
  • Comfortable working in an Agile/sprint environment and using digital Kanban/sprint boards.
