REMOTE - Urology Surgery Coder

Urology Surgery Coder

Insight Global is looking for a Urology Surgery Coder for an academic medical center. This coder will spend the majority of their time reviewing and abstracting urology surgical cases, working through approximately 8 surgeries per hour. Surgeries will vary from simple to complex. They will assign CPT, ICD-10, and modifiers while validating diagnoses, LCDs, and medical necessity requirements. The role might include working through 1012 clinic edits per hour, ensuring claims accuracy, and submitting finalized charges back to providers with clear documentation of coding decisions. While denials are minimal, the coder will support occasional claim corrections and may engage directly with physicians to clarify documentation and ensure accuracy.

• 5+ years of urology or surgical specialty coding experience
• Active certification: CPC or CCS-P

• Knowledge of medical necessity, LCDs, and claims workflows
• Comfortable communicating with physicians
• Basic Excel skills (save, filter, hide columns)
• Previous remote work experience
• Must be willing to work PST hours
