Inpatient Coder

About the Role

micro1 is engaging inpatient coders for a project that improves inpatient clinical coding accuracy and data quality. You apply facility coding expertise to help train the next generation of AI systems.

What You'll Do

• Review clinical documentation for accuracy, completeness and coding integrity.
• Evaluate AI-generated clinical notes and summaries against real documentation and coding standards.
• Check that assigned codes match the clinical documentation.
• Write prompts that test how an AI handles healthcare admin work such as billing and coding, insurance and prior authorization, scheduling and compliance.
• Correct the code or data when the model falls short, using your day-to-day operational experience.

Requirements

• Active coding certification such as CIC, CCS or CPC.
• Inpatient ICD-10-CM coding experience, including DRG, MCC/CC and POA concepts.
• Proven skill reviewing and abstracting information from EMRs.
• Strong analytical skills for interpreting complex clinical documentation.
• At least 10 hours per week of availability.
• US-based.

Compensation & Logistics

Contractor role, remote, US-based. Listed rate is $50-$70 per hour, but compensation is task-based: you are paid per completed task that meets project specifications. Average handling time is about 1 hour per task, so your effective hourly rate depends on how many tasks you complete and get signed off.
