At least 2 years of recent experience in inpatient medical coding or clinical documentation review within a hospital setting. Proficient in DRG logic, ICD coding conventions, and use of encoder tools. Must stay informed on the latest updates to coding regulations and documentation standards. Preferred Experience and Skills: Industry certifications such as CCDS (Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist) or CDIP (Clinical Documentation Improvement Practitioner) are highly desirable. Strong grasp of clinical pathophysiology and the progression of common inpatient diagnoses. Demonstrated ability to apply analytical thinking and exercise sound clinical judgment. Excellent communication skills, especially when clarifying documentation with medical staff in complex or sensitive cases. Comfortable using electronic health records, clinical coding software, and productivity tracking systems. This position is a great fit for healthcare professionals with a keen eye for detail, a passion for improving clinical documentation quality, and a desire to contribute to organizational excellence in health information accuracy and compliance.
