Description
Healthcare Legal Solutions is seeking an experienced Senior Coding Specialist to support our end‑to‑end appeals and claims recovery operations. This role will be responsible for ensuring that coding applied to denied and appealed claims is accurate, compliant, and strategically aligned with payer requirements and client expectations. Rather than simply coding high‑volume encounters, this position will focus on reviewing complex claims, interpreting documentation and payer policies, advising on appeal strategy, and supporting quality and consistency across our coding and denial management workflows.
The Senior Coding Specialist will have visibility across multiple product lines and venues, including inpatient and outpatient hospital claims, professional services, and specialty service lines, as applicable to client engagements. They will help operationalize coding guidelines, regulatory requirements, and client policies; identify coding‑related denial trends; recommend corrective actions; and contribute to process improvements that enhance both recovery outcomes and compliance. This role may also provide guidance and education to internal staff and client teams on documentation standards, coding changes, and payer expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Qualifications
Fast learners with solid foundational experience in coding, denials, or healthcare operations are encouraged to apply.
