We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications). Also maybe Benefits? The posting includes benefits info: reduced/no cost visits, pharmacy benefits, mental health visits, 401K match, tuition reimbursement, parenting resources, professional development. So we should include Benefits section. Pay and Schedule not mentioned, so omit. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, accommodation contact, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Other Duties: This job description incorporates..." appears twice; we should keep only once? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we need to deduplicate repeated sentences. The "Other Duties:" paragraph appears twice; we should keep one instance. Also "Other Duties:" appears again later? Actually appears after KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES and after REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS? Let's scan: after KNOWLEDGE... there is "Other Duties: This job description incorporates the essential functions and duties required for this position. However, other duties may be required and assigned at times and as determined by a supervisor in order to meet the needs of the organization." Then later after PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS there is again "Other Duties: This job description incorporates the essential functions and duties required for this position. However, other duties may be required and assigned at times and as determined by a supervisor in order to meet the needs of the organization." So duplicate; keep one. Also "Serves as a role model..." appears after PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS? Actually after PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS block there is "Serves as a role model in carrying out activities and behaviors that reflect the values and principles of the Boys Town mission." That's substantive; keep. Also "PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS, EQUIPMENT USAGE, WORK ENVIRONMENT:" section: we can include as a subsection maybe under Requirements? But we have no specific heading for Physical Requirements; we could include as a separate section if we have content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. There is content: "Position is relatively sedentary..." etc. So we could create a section "Physical Requirements, Equipment Usage, Work Environment". However the allowed headings list includes only certain ones: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Probably we should stick to those headings. Physical requirements could go under Requirements or Qualifications. But we have a lot of content; we could create a "Requirements" section that includes required qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, physical requirements. Or we could split into "Requirements" and "Qualifications". The posting has "REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS" and "PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS". Also "KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES". So we could have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Qualifications + Knowledge, Skills, Abilities + Physical Requirements), Benefits. Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications separate. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Requirements (including required qualifications, knowledge, skills, abilities, physical requirements) and Benefits. Also maybe include a short "About Boys Town" paragraph? That's descriptive; could be part of About the role? But we are told not to repeat job title as heading; we could have an "About the role" section with the Boys Town description. However the posting includes "About Boys Town:" paragraph. That's substantive. Could be placed under a section "About Boys Town" but not in allowed list. Could incorporate into a brief

  before sections. The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have an "About the role" section containing the Boys Town description. That seems appropriate. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits. Now we need to extract content. Responsibilities: from "MAJOR RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES:" bullet list (though not bullet but sentences). We'll convert each sentence into

  . Must preserve all substantive info. Let's list responsibilities sentences: - Reads and interprets medical record documentation to include diagnostic and procedural phrases performed during the visit (e.g., observation, inpatient, surgery, clinic encounter, etc.) and then translates them into appropriate coding form. - Analyzes health record to identify relevant diagnoses, procedures, supplies, and modifier requirements for distinct patient encounters for a variety of specialties. - Applies knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPC coding guidelines and notes to accept and assign the correct diagnosis, procedural, or supply/ service codes, as documented, and sequences them correctly within the encounter. - Clarifies conflicting or ambiguous information appearing in the medical record by consulting the appropriate physician or clinician to ensure sufficient documentation and accurate code selection. - Utilizes internal and external resource and reference systems such as Encoder and AAPC news bulletins to ensure accuracy and current coding selections are utilized. - Prioritizes caseload based on date of receipt and charge source (e.g., paper encounter, operative note, reference lab invoice, or electronic medical record. Charges worked via the EMR shall be worked according to modified date ready to ensure timely filing requirements are adhered to. - Reviews individual encounter level system-generated claim edits to correct or complete missing data elements. - Conduct focused coding/encounter audits across multi-specialty practices to include providing brief yet detailed accounts of findings as well as suggested action plans for corrected claims and provider/staff education to the Coding Leadership. - Resolves coding and reimbursement issues with Patient Financial Services staff and third-party payers and assists in implementing solutions to reduce back-end billing errors, while maximizing revenue and reimbursement opportunities. - Provides back-up to the Hospital Coding team as needed to meet all coding group KPI’s and metrics. - Abides by the Standards of Ethical Coding as set forth by the American Information Management Association (AHIMA) and adheres to official coding guidelines and organizational compliance. Note: Some sentences have run-on; we keep as is. Now Requirements: combine Required Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Physical Requirements. Required Qualifications: - High school diploma or equivalent required. - Certified Professional Coder certification (CPC or CPC-A) required. Preferred Qualifications: - Minimum of one year of recent applicable experience in coding with ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS/CPT preferred. - Extensive knowledge of medical terminology, disease process and anatomy and physiology preferred. - Experience working in Electronic Medical Record (EMR) preferred. - Working knowledge of 1500 vs. UB04 billing preferred. Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: - Apply thorough knowledge of ICD-10-CM and HCPCS/CPT coding theory with sustained accuracy of 95% or greater, while consistently maintaining acceptable productivity metrics set for the Professional Coding team. - Knowledge of E&M coding guidelines for both clinic/outpatient and inpatient services - Apply a thorough knowledge of medical terminology, disease process, and anatomy and physiology. - Communicate clearly and concisely both orally and in writing with all staff, physicians, and patients in all aspects of the job to allow efficiency and promptness for patient care. - Ability to function independently, with minimal supervision, as well as part of a team - Type 30 wpm with at least 90% accuracy. - Make rapid and accurate arithmetic calculations. - Maintain current and accurate records. - Treat information in patient records with strict confidentiality. - strong attention to detail and critical thinking skills, Note: some duplication with preferred qualifications; we keep both. Physical Requirements, Equipment Usage, Work Environment: - Position is relatively sedentary in a normal office administrative environment involving minimum exposure to physical risks. - Will use office equipment such as a computer/laptop, monitor, keyboard, and a general workstation set-up. Also "Care and respect for others is more than a commitment at Boys Town – it is the foundation of who we are and what we do. At Boys Town, we cultivate a culture of belonging for all employees that respects their individual strengths, views, and experiences. We believe that our differences enable us to be a better team – one that makes better decisions, drives innovation, and delivers better business results." This is more about culture; could be part of About the role. Also "About Boys Town:" paragraph: we can include in About the role. Also benefits paragraph: "A unique feature for employees and their dependents enrolled in medical benefits are reduced to no cost visits for services performed by a Boys Town provider at a Boys Town location. Additional costs savings for the employee and their dependents are found in our pharmacy benefits with low to zero-dollar co-pays on certain maintenance drugs. Boys Town takes your mental health seriously with no cost mental health visits to an in-network provider. We help our employees prepare for retirement with a generous match on their 401K or 401K Roth account. Additional benefits include tuition reimbursement, parenting resources from our experts and professional development opportunities within the organization, just to name a few. Working at Boys Town is more than just a job, it is a way of life." We'll put that in Benefits section as list items. Now we need to remove boilerplate: EEO, E-Verify, accommodation contact, "This advertisement describes the general nature of work..." etc. Also "Boys Town is an equal employment opportunity employer..." etc. Remove. Also remove duplicated "Other Duties:" lines. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
