Entry Level Medical Coding Specialist

About the Role

Are you a newly certified medical coder looking to launch your career in a dynamic and fast-growing healthcare environment? Join a federally certified Independent Review Organization (IRO) that provides expert medical review services to government agencies, insurers, TPAs, and self-funded employers. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a newly formed team supporting a high-impact initiative driven by the No Surprises Act, with a mission to resolve complex claim disputes and ensure fair payment outcomes.

• Analyze CPT codes and supporting documentation to identify the correct party in disputed claims.
• Work primarily with emergency services claims, including ambulance and air ambulance cases.
• Operate within a proprietary claims management system.
• Collaborate with internal teams to clear a significant backlog of cases.

Note: This is not a coding-heavy role. You’ll use your coding knowledge to interpret and validate claims, not to perform coding tasks. What You Bring

• CPC or CPC-A certification (required).
• 2-3 years of Medical Collections or Billing experience (required) - Candidates with prior coding experience will not be considered
• Familiarity with emergency services billing is a plus, but not required.
• Experience working with EOBs and appeals is highly preferred.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to make objective decisions.
• Adaptability and eagerness to contribute to a newly built team.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Be part of a federally certified IDR entity with a permanent increase in business volume.
• Gain exposure to high-impact healthcare legislation (No Surprises Act).
• Work in a supportive environment that values entry-level talent and provides growth opportunities.
• Help shape the future of fair medical billing practices.
