Outpatient Surgery Coder

Outpatient Surgery Coder

The outpatient surgery coder reviews and codes a high volume of surgical charts each day, including procedures such as laser treatments and skin grafting, ensuring accurate CPT and ICD-10 assignment using the Solventum (3M) encoder. They maintain a steady productivity pace of around 7 charts per hour while prioritizing accuracy and compliance with coding guidelines. Throughout the day, they validate documentation, resolve any discrepancies, and collaborate with billing or audit teams as needed. A strong focus is placed on quality, consistently achieving a 95% or higher QA score.
