Outpatient Coder II

We’ve partnered with a large academic health system in Chicago to find an experienced Outpatient Coder II. This is an opportunity to join a high-volume, high-complexity coding team at a respected academic medical center.

The client is a large academic health system known for teaching, research, specialty care, and strong compliance and clinical excellence. It is designated as both a Level I and Level II trauma center and is recognized for high-acuity populations, complex surgeries, and transplant programs.

In this role, you will serve as a coding and reimbursement expert across complex outpatient encounters, including Observation stays, Same Day Surgery, Surgery Center, and Outpatient in a Bed. You will apply knowledge of ICD-10-CM, HCPCS, CPT codes, and modifiers to support accurate coding and reimbursement.

This is a hands-on position with support from educators and coding managers, making it a strong fit for someone looking to grow their expertise in a teaching hospital environment.

You will also work with 3M Encoder and CAC tools, send physician queries when clarification is needed, resolve NCCI edits with approved modifiers, and help maintain accuracy and productivity standards for outpatient encounters.

Schedule is Monday through Friday, day shift, with an early start typical for the team.
