This role is ideal for professionals with medical coding, medical billing, and insurance claims experience at a health plan (e.g., Humana, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare).

· Research service codes, fees, and coverage policies using digital tools and online databases.

· Use your knowledge of remark codes, CPT codes, and medical service codes to make impartial and binding recommendations.

· Handle 24+ insurance dispute cases per day, documenting decisions accurately in the CMS IDR Portal.

Desired Qualifications:

· 1+ year of experience in medical coding or billing (required).

· Experience handling insurance claims from the payer side (e.g., Humana, BCBS, Aetna).

· Ability to read and interpret EOBs, remark codes, and medical claim language.

· Familiar with dispute resolution, appeals processes, and healthcare regulations.

· Medicaid experience is a plus.

· Comfortable using tools like Microsoft Excel, Word, and the CMS IDR Portal.

· Associate’s degree preferred but not required if you have 3+ years of total medical billing/coding experience.

Ideal Candidate Background:

· Has worked as a medical claims analyst, coding specialist, insurance appeals coordinator, or similar.

· Comes from a health plan or third-party administrator (TPA).

· Understands the logic behind coverage decisions and coding disputes—not just how to code, but why codes matter.
