About the Job

CardioOne is seeking an experienced Coding & Charge Entry Manager to lead and oversee all coding and charge capture operations across our cardiology-focused practice partners. This role is responsible for ensuring accurate, compliant, and timely coding and charge entry within athenaOne, driving clean claim rates, minimizing revenue leakage, and developing a high-performing team aligned with CardioOne's revenue cycle standards.

What you’ll do:

Coding Operations & Compliance

• Oversee all professional fee coding across assigned cardiology practice partners, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and compliance with payer and regulatory requirements

• Monitor coding quality through regular audits, identify trends in errors or denials rooted in coding, and implement corrective action plans

• Ensure adherence to official coding guidelines (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS) and cardiology-specific coding standards across the team

• Stay current on CMS updates, payer policy changes, and cardiology coding developments and communicate changes to staff in a timely manner

Charge Entry and Capture

• Oversee timely and accurate charge entry within athenaOne, ensuring charges are posted in accordance with CardioOne's charge lag standards

• Monitor charge capture workflows across multiple practice environments, identifying gaps between services rendered and charges submitted

• Collaborate with physicians and clinical staff to resolve missing, incomplete, or unclear documentation that impacts charge capture

• Ensure CPT, ICD-10, and modifier usage is appropriate and consistent across all assigned locations and providers

• Conduct regular vendor performance reviews against defined benchmarks and escalate gaps to leadership

• Ensure vendors have timely access to clinical documentation, payer requirements, CPT codes, and practice-specific routing information needed to execute charges effectively

Team Leadership & Development

• Supervise, mentor, and develop a team of coders and charge entry specialists, providing ongoing coaching, feedback, and performance management

• Set clear performance expectations and monitor KPIs including coding accuracy rates, charge lag, denial rates attributable to coding, and productivity

• Conduct regular one-on-ones, team meetings, and coder education sessions to maintain high standards and keep staff current on coding changes

• Identify staffing needs, participate in hiring decisions, and lead onboarding and training for new team members

What you’ll need:

• 5+ years of experience in medical coding and/or charge entry, with at least 1 year in a supervisory or management role

• Cardiology or cardiovascular specialty coding experience strongly preferred, including familiarity with cardiac imaging, interventional procedures, and cardiovascular surgery

• Active coding certification required — CPC, CCS, or equivalent through AAPC

• Proficiency with athenaOne (athenaHealth) is required, including working knowledge of charge entry workflows

• Strong working knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II, and modifier usage in a cardiology context

• Experience with cardiology-specific services — including cardiac CT/CTA, PET MPI, echocardiography, nuclear medicine, cardiac monitoring (MCT/MCOT, Holter, ILR), and interventional cardiovascular procedures — is a significant advantage

• Familiarity with J-codes and drug/infusion billing as it relates to cardiology practice is a plus

• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to present coding performance data to revenue cycle and clinical leadership

• Ability to manage operations across multiple simultaneous practice environments in a fast-paced, growth-oriented organization
