ICD-10 NURSE SPECIALIST (RN) — OMAHA, NE

Full-Time | On-Site | Posted by SouthBridge Human Capital Are you an experienced RN who thrives on clinical accuracy, teaching others, and making a broad impact — but wants a stable, office‑based role instead of the demands of floor nursing?

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

SouthBridge Human Capital has been engaged by a well‑established, multi‑community senior living organization in the Omaha area to identify an exceptional Registered Nurse for a newly created ICD‑10 Nurse Specialist role. This organization has built a strong regional reputation over decades by placing the dignity, respect, and wellbeing of every resident at the center of everything they do. Their culture reflects a genuine belief that quality care starts with quality people — and they invest accordingly in the teams that serve their communities. This high‑visibility, system‑wide role is an opportunity to apply your clinical expertise at an organizational level — with a professional office environment, predictable hours, and minimal travel.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Serve as the ICD‑10 subject matter expert across the entire organization Review and audit skilled and non‑skilled admissions, diagnosis sheets, physician orders, and therapy documentation Ensure diagnoses are accurate, clinically supported, and properly sequenced Identify patterns contributing to billing errors, RTPs, or claim denials — and help eliminate them Deliver targeted education, coaching, and support to clinical and interdisciplinary teams Collaborate closely with Billing and Financial Services to protect appropriate reimbursement Support documentation improvements and stay current with annual ICD‑10 updates Drive meaningful process enhancements in a collaborative, respectful culture Work full‑time at the organization's Omaha corporate office with up to 10% travel to communities

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Active Registered Nurse (RN) license (Nebraska or eligible) Strong working knowledge of ICD‑10 diagnosis coding Solid understanding of skilled nursing, senior living operations, and Medicare reimbursement processes Experience with MDS coordination or the RAI process strongly preferred Sharp attention to detail when reviewing clinical documentation Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a natural ability to educate and support others A collaborative mindset and genuine passion for continuous improvement

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

Move beyond traditional bedside or unit‑level work into a position of real, system‑wide influence Enjoy a stable, professional office setting with predictable hours and minimal travel Make a visible impact on resident care quality and organizational integrity across multiple communities Join a culture that has spent decades demonstrating — not just saying — that people come first Work alongside collaborative, mission‑aligned colleagues who take their work seriously and support each other Receive compensation and benefits that are competitive and commensurate with your experience If you're an RN who loves the intellectual and educational side of post‑acute care and wants your expertise to elevate an entire organization — while still going home at a reasonable hour — this could be the refreshing next step you've been looking for.
