Emergency Department (ED) & Outpatient Facility Coder (Remote)

Company Overview DT-Trak Consulting is a trusted Indian-owned Small Business Association (SBA)-certified minority business, specializing in professional medical claims management, revenue enhancement, certified coding, enrollment, credentialing, and clinic documentation improvement (CDI) since 2002. We are dedicated to delivering innovative, GSA-certified services across the nation to a diverse range of clients including government, tribal, and commercial entities.

Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Emergency Department (ED) & Outpatient Facility Coder to join our dynamic team remotely. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a passion for medical coding, this is your opportunity to contribute to quality healthcare documentation while enjoying the flexibility of remote work. This is a production-based coding position with incentives for exceeding accuracy and productivity standards. The ideal candidate will have strong practical coding experience in ED and outpatient facility settings, a thorough understanding of official ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, and E/M coding guidelines, and the ability to independently code encounters from provider documentation. DT-Trak utilizes an encoder as a coding tool; however, candidates must demonstrate the knowledge and experience to apply coding guidelines independently rather than relying solely on encoder suggestions. Important: Providers do not code patient visits in our environment. Coders are responsible for reviewing documentation and assigning all appropriate codes.

Responsibilities

• Review and analyze medical records from emergency department and outpatient facilities to assign appropriate ICD-10, ICD-9, CPT (Current Procedural Terminology), and DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group) codes.
• Ensure accurate coding of diagnoses, procedures, and services in accordance with current coding guidelines and regulations.
• Collaborate with healthcare providers and billing teams to clarify documentation discrepancies and improve record accuracy.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of coding changes, payer requirements, and compliance standards related to ED and outpatient services.
• Utilize Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems efficiently for record review and coding processes.
• Prepare detailed reports on coding activities, ensuring all records are complete and compliant with regulatory standards.
• Support ongoing training initiatives by staying informed about advancements in medical terminology, coding practices, and healthcare regulations.

Skills

• Strong knowledge of ICD-10, ICD-9, CPT coding systems, DRG classifications, and their application in emergency and outpatient settings.
• Experience with medical billing, collections, and office procedures within healthcare environments.
• Proficiency in EMR/EHR systems for documentation review and coding tasks.
• Excellent understanding of medical terminology and medical records management.
• Ability to interpret complex clinical documentation accurately for precise coding purposes.
• Familiarity with medical office workflows, insurance requirements, and compliance standards related to medical coding.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent organizational skills to manage multiple records efficiently. Join us in transforming healthcare documentation through expert coding! This role offers an engaging environment where your skills directly impact patient care quality while providing the flexibility of remote work. If you are passionate about accuracy, compliance, and continuous learning in the medical field—apply today!
