Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Compensation: $29.00 - $52.00 per hour (based on experience) + Performance Bonuses
The Opportunity:
I am currently representing a premier global healthcare organization looking to add a Clinical Quality Coding Analyst to their Las Vegas team. This is a critical role designed to bridge the gap between clinical documentation and healthcare data accuracy. You will serve as the primary educator for Independent Provider Association (IPA) partners, ensuring they have the tools and training necessary to reflect the true health status of their patients.
In this role, you aren’t just auditing charts; you are a consultant and educator helping providers optimize patient outcomes through accurate Risk Adjustment and ICD-10-CM coding.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provider Education: Conduct on-site training for clinicians and staff regarding CMS Risk Adjustment guidelines and Medicare Advantage documentation best practices.
- Documentation Consulting: Perform concurrent chart reviews and HEDIS retrievals within provider offices to identify gaps and improve reporting accuracy.
- Relationship Management: Act as a dedicated liaison between the organization and community providers, building trust and maintaining high-functioning partnerships.
- Strategic Analysis: Evaluate quality measures (such as COA, diagnostic testing, and lab results) to identify trends and areas for clinical process improvement.
- Collaborative Impact: Work alongside organizational leadership to scale new programs and translate complex coding concepts into actionable clinical workflows.
Who You Are:
- A Licensed Professional: You hold a current coding certification (CPC, CRC, CCS, RHIT, RHIA, etc.) or are an RN/LPN willing to obtain certification within your first year.
- An Industry Expert: You have at least 5 years of ICD-10 diagnostic coding experience, with at least 2 years specifically focused on Medicare Risk Adjustment (HCC).
- A Confident Communicator: You enjoy public speaking and have a knack for explaining complex government regulations to healthcare professionals in a clear, engaging way.
- Mobile & Adaptable: You are comfortable working in a field-based capacity, visiting different provider offices in the Las Vegas area routinely (valid driver’s license required).
Why Join This Client?
- My client is known for investing heavily in their employees. Beyond a competitive hourly rate, they offer:
- Comprehensive Health Wealth: Multiple medical/dental/vision plans, HSA/FSA options, and a robust 401(k) with company match.
- Work-Life Balance: Generous PTO accrual starting from Day 1 plus 8 paid holidays.
- Career Growth: Tuition reimbursement, employee stock purchase programs, and clear pathways into leadership or specialized clinical roles.
- Culture of Inclusion: A mission-driven environment focused on health equity and removing barriers to care.
Application Process:
If you are a coding professional who thrives on teaching and wants to move away from a traditional "backend" audit role into a dynamic, provider-facing consultant position, I want to hear from you.
