United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I code remotely for Optum–UnitedHealth Group, reviewing and analyzing patient records to assign ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes for risk adjustment and HCC capture. I abstract diagnoses from provider documentation for Medicare Advantage, ACA, and Medicaid risk adjustment programs while keeping everything compliant with CMS guidelines, ICD-10 standards, and company policies.
I also run retrospective and concurrent chart reviews to spot missed or unsupported diagnoses, validate clinical support in documentation, and participate in coding audits and QA reviews. On the side, I’ve led a data entry/customer service team at GT Independence and completed medical billing and coding coursework focused on ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS.
