Sample Job Description of a Medical Coder
At the bottom of this article, we’ve provided an Editable PDF and Word Document that you use to hire your next medical coder, and for medical coders who use as a basis to evaluate your next employer.
Medical Coder Benefits and Compensation Consideration
Every organization no matter it’s size should consider these five things when hiring a Medical Coder, and these 5 things also apply to Medical Coders deciding whom to accept offers from.
Salary Considerations for Medical Coders
Is the Salary within the state’s median average? Is that Salary within the national average +/- 3% of the level of Certification. The more knowledge and experience a medical coder has, the less denials a practice or hopsital gets. If you run an at-risk payer organization, we strongly suggest that your claims manager is a Ceritfied Coder. How you expect to pay appropriately and stay within compliance without that level of expertise? Even our AI Medical Coding Software solutions, Virtual Examiner® , Virtual AuthTech®, and iVECoder®, can’t do it all.
