This fully remote, full-time leadership role is responsible for overseeing daily inpatient and outpatient coding operations in a high-volume healthcare environment. The Supervisor ensures coding activities meet established standards for accuracy, productivity, turnaround time, and workflow efficiency. By monitoring operational performance and addressing bottlenecks, the role helps reduce discharged-not-final-billed (DNFB) accounts and supports timely claim submission and revenue cycle objectives. The position also guides and develops coding professionals, promoting consistent application of coding guidelines and continuous improvement. Working closely with Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), Revenue Integrity, Coding Integrity, and Education teams, the Supervisor helps strengthen documentation quality and coding accuracy. This is an opportunity to combine technical coding expertise with people leadership and operational oversight while contributing to effective healthcare administration.
Accountabilities:
• Supervise daily inpatient and outpatient coding operations, ensuring work is completed according to throughput, timeliness, quality, and workflow expectations.
• Monitor productivity, turnaround times, coding volumes, and operational performance, proactively addressing challenges and performance gaps.
• Ensure timely coding of patient encounters and discharges to support DNFB reduction, claim submission performance, and revenue cycle goals.
• Oversee coding work queues, including account prioritization, escalation processes, and backlog management, with particular attention to aged and high-value accounts.
• Reinforce the accurate application of ICD-10-CM/PCS and CPT/HCPCS coding guidelines, modifier usage, DRG assignment, and applicable IPPS and OPPS/APC reimbursement methodologies.
• Identify and escalate documentation, technology, staffing, and workflow barriers that affect coding completion or performance.
• Coach and provide feedback to coding staff to strengthen accuracy, consistency, productivity, and compliance with coding standards.
• Collaborate with CDI and Revenue Integrity teams to support accurate documentation, charge capture, and appropriate representation of patient acuity and services.
• Partner with Coding Integrity and Education teams to implement audit findings, regulatory updates, and targeted training initiatives.
• Ensure compliance with coding standards, CMS requirements, reimbursement regulations, and organizational policies.
• Track and report team performance, coding trends, productivity, quality indicators, and operational issues.
• Perform additional duties as assigned.
Requirements:
• At least 4 years of coding experience in an acute care hospital environment, including procedural coding and high-acuity patient charts.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; a bachelor's degree in a healthcare-related discipline is preferred.
• One of the following certifications is required: Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA), Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT), Certified Professional Coder (CPC), or Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder (CIRCC).
• Strong knowledge of ICD-10-CM/PCS and/or CPT/HCPCS coding guidelines, including modifier usage.
• Understanding of DRG/IPPS and OPPS/APC reimbursement methodologies and related coding requirements.
• Ability to manage coding workflows in high-volume and/or high-complexity healthcare environments.
• Knowledge of clinical documentation requirements, patient acuity representation, procedural coding, and CDI/Revenue Integrity alignment.
• Experience monitoring and improving operational metrics, including DNFB, productivity, and turnaround time.
• Strong coaching, communication, and team development skills.
• Ability to promote standardized processes, operational consistency, and continuous performance improvement.
• Effective collaboration skills when working with CDI, Revenue Integrity, Coding Integrity, Education, and Operations teams.
Benefits:
• Fully remote work arrangement.
