Are you a detail-oriented Certified Professional Coder (CPC) or Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) who is passionate about accuracy, compliance, and improving patient care? We are seeking an experienced Medical Coder to join our Patient Accounts team.

  • Verify medical necessity, coding accuracy, modifiers, and payer information before releasing encounters for billing.
  • Communicate documentation deficiencies to providers and provide education to improve coding accuracy and compliance.
  • Collaborate with physicians, Patient Accounts, and Information Technology teams to resolve coding, billing, and documentation issues.
  • Review provider task queues and coding worklists daily to ensure timely processing.
  • Reconcile unbilled encounter reports and resolve outstanding billing issues.
  • Stay current with coding guidelines, payer regulations, and industry updates to maintain coding credentials.
  • Assist with training new team members and support ongoing provider education initiatives.
  • Maintain strict compliance with HIPAA, organizational policies, and regulatory requirements.
What You Bring:
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Current Certified Professional Coder (CPC) , CPC-A , Certified Coding Associate (CCA) , or Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) credential.
  • Minimum of three years of recent medical coding and/or charge billing experience (within the last four years), or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Experience working with Electronic Health Records (EHR/EMR) and practice management systems.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and Outlook).
  • Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and time management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Family Practice coding experience.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced outpatient healthcare environment.
Why PTHA?

  • Work in a mission-driven, accredited organization
  • Serve a close-knit patient population in an urban reservation setting
  • Enjoy opportunities for professional development and training
  • Experience a strong support system and inclusive team culture
Perks of the Role:
  • Meaningful Mission - Contribute to the overall wellness of a tribally operated health organization dedicated to serving the Indigenous community with respect, humility, and compassion
  • Engaging Experience - Hands-on experience with modern digital dental technology
  • Competitive Compensation - Receive a fair salary that reflects your expertise and the impact of your work
  • Supportive Team Culture - Join a collaborative and inclusive environment where respect and ethics are core values
  • Cultural Enrichment - Work in an organization that values and integrates Indigenous traditions, community care, and cultural sensitivity
  • Stability & Impact - Be part of a long-standing, accredited institution that plays a vital role in community health and development
PTHA Employee Benefits:
  • Supportive environment that values a healthy work/life balance
  • Medical/Dental/Vision monthly premiums paid 100% by PTHA for employees (health coverage begins the first of the month following hire date)
  • (13) annual leave (vacation) days + (13) annual sick leave days

  • 401(k) with annual profit-sharing contributions after (1) years of service
  • Life and AD&D insurance coverage
  • Have student loans? PTHA is an approved loan repayment site for various student loan programs
