Remote Medical Coder (Philippines)

US healthcare practices, orthopedic groups among them, have more charts to code than certified coders to code them. We're building a remote team of certified coders in the Philippines to code directly for these US clients, and this is one of the first seats. If you hold a CPC or CCS and want long-term work from home on real US cases, read on.

You'll work from your own home office, inside your client's systems, during US business hours. You'll code real US cases and send provider queries to the US team when documentation isn't clear. Our hiring process is short: apply in a few minutes, take a 20-minute open-book coding test, and record a short video introduction. A recruiter will be in touch after you apply.

A great first year looks like this: you know your client's EHR and payer rules cold, your audits come back clean, and the team brings you the hard orthopedic and modifier questions. As the team grows, there will be room for senior coder, QA auditor and team lead roles.

• Assign ICD-10-CM, CPT and HCPCS Level II codes for office visits, procedures and surgery, with orthopedics as a main focus: joint replacement, arthroscopy, fracture care, spine and injections.
• Apply modifiers, laterality, NCCI edits and global surgery rules before claims go out.
• Read operative notes and clinical documentation, and send clear provider queries when something is missing or doesn't match.
• Work coding-related denials and edits with the billing team.
• Meet your client's productivity and accuracy targets, and keep current with each year's code and payer updates.

• An active AAPC CPC, or AHIMA CCS or CCS-P.
• 2+ years of production coding for US healthcare (3+ years for orthopedic surgery).
• Strong ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS and modifier skills, plus experience with a US EHR (Epic, ModMed, athenaOne, eClinicalWorks or similar) and an encoder.
• Availability for US Eastern business hours, Monday to Friday: 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM Philippine time from November to March, and 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the rest of the year.
• A private home office with wired fiber internet (25 Mbps or faster), a backup connection and backup power, plus clear written and spoken English.
