Coding Specialist II: Profee Multispecialty: Infectious Disease, Rheumatology & Endocrinology

. Use

for section headings. Let's extract content. Intro paragraph: "Here at Savista, we enable our clients to navigate the biggest challenges in healthcare: quality clinical care with positive patient experiences and optimal financial results. We partner with healthcare organizations to problem solve and deliver revenue cycle improvement services that enable their success, support their patients, and nurture their communities, all while living our values of Commitment, Authenticity, Respect and Excellence (CARE). The Pro Fee Coder will review clinical documentation to assign and sequence diagnostic and procedural codes for specific patient types to meet the requirements of hospital data or physician data retrieval for billing and reimbursement. Coder II may validate APC calculations to accurately capture the diagnoses/procedures documented in the clinical record for hospitals. The Coder II performs documentation review and assessment for accurate abstracting of clinical data to meet regulatory and compliance requirements. Coder II may interact with client staff and providers." That's about the role. Responsibilities: The bullet list under "Duties And Responsibilities". Let's capture each line: - Select and sequence ICD-10, and/or CPT/HCPCS codes for designated patient types which may include but not limited to: Ancillary (Diagnostic)/ Recurring; Hospital, Clinic; Physician Pro Fee; Technical Fee or Evaluation and Management, any associated chart capturing with any patient type. - Review and analyze facility records to ensure that APC assignments and/or Evaluation and Management codes accurately reflect the diagnoses/procedures documented in the clinical record. - Abstract clinical data from the record after documentation review to ensure that it is adequate and appropriate to support diagnoses, procedures and discharge disposition is selected. - Complete assigned work functions utilizing appropriate resources. May act as a resource with client staff for data integrity, clarification and assistance in understanding and determining appropriate and compliant coding practices including provider queries. - Maintain strict patient and provider confidentiality in compliance with all HIPPA Guidelines. - Participate in client and Savista staff meetings, trainings, and conference calls as requested and/or required. - Maintain current working knowledge of ICD-10 and/or CPT/HCPCS and coding guidelines, government regulations, protocols and third-party requirements regarding coding and/or billing. - Participate in continuing education activities to enhance knowledge, skills, and maintain current credentials. That's responsibilities. Skills And Qualifications section: Contains Required and Preferred. Required: - Candidates must successfully pass pre-employment skills assessment. - Required: An active AHIMA (American Health Information Association) credential including but not limited to RHIA, RHIT, CCS, CCA, or an active AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) credentials COC (formerly CPC-H), CCS-P, or CPC or related specialty credential. - Two years of recent and relevant hands-on coding experience in profee multispecialty infectious disease, rheumatology & endocrinology - Knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, as well as ICD-10 and CPT/HCPCS code sets - Ability to consistently code at 95% threshold for quality while maintaining client-specific and/or Savista production and/or quality standards - Proficient computer knowledge including MS Office including the ability to enter data, sort and filter excel files, (Outlook, Word, Excel) - Must display excellent interpersonal and problem-solving skills with all levels of internal and external customers Preferred Skills: - Recent and relevant experience in an active production coding environment strongly preferred - Associates degree in HIM or healthcare-related field, or combination of equivalent education and experience - Experience using Rcx, Cerner, NextGen (a plus) Also note about salary: "Note: Savista is required by state specific laws to include the salary range for this role when hiring a resident in applicable locations. The salary range for this role is from $22.08 - $30.00 an hour. However, specific compensation for the role will vary within the above range based on many factors including but not limited to geographic location, candidate experience, applicable certifications, and skills." We need Pay section with that info. We should not include EEO boilerplate, California Job Candidate Notice. Now decide sections: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: maybe required credentials/experience etc. - Qualifications: maybe preferred? Or we could combine required and preferred under Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for those categories. We'll put Requirements for required items, Qualifications for preferred items (or vice versa). Let's do Requirements = required, Qualifications = preferred. - Skills: maybe we could list skills like knowledge of medical terminology, MS Office, interpersonal skills etc. But those are already in required. Could separate Skills section for technical skills like MS Office, knowledge of code sets, etc. However to avoid duplication, we might put all required under Requirements, and preferred under Qualifications, and maybe Skills separate for things like MS Office, interpersonal skills. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are specified; we can include only those with real content. We have content for Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). We'll include both. Skills: we could list specific skills like MS Office, interpersonal, problem-solving. But those are already in required. Might be redundant. Could omit Skills section if content overlaps heavily. However we have distinct skills like "Proficient computer knowledge including MS Office..." and "Must display excellent interpersonal and problem-solving skills". Those could go under Skills. But we already have them in required. To avoid duplication, we could put them under Skills and move other requirements (credentials, experience) under Requirements. Qualifications for preferred. That seems reasonable. Thus: About the role: intro paragraph. Responsibilities: list. Requirements: maybe credentials, experience, ability to code at 95% threshold, etc. But we need to decide what goes where. Let's define: Requirements (mandatory): - Candidates must successfully pass pre-employment skills assessment. - Active AHIMA credential (RHIA, RHIT, CCS, CCA) or active AAPC credential (COC, CCS-P, CPC) or related specialty credential. - Two years of recent and relevant hands-on coding experience in profee multispecialty infectious disease, rheumatology & endocrinology. - Ability to consistently code at 95% threshold for quality while maintaining client-specific and/or Savista production and/or quality standards. Qualifications (preferred): - Associates degree in HIM or healthcare-related field, or combination of equivalent education and experience. - Recent and relevant experience in an active production coding environment strongly preferred. - Experience using Rcx, Cerner, NextGen (a plus). Skills: - Knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, ICD-10 and CPT/HCPCS code sets. - Proficient computer knowledge including MS Office (ability to enter data, sort and filter excel files, Outlook, Word, Excel). - Excellent interpersonal and problem-solving skills with all levels of internal and external customers. Pay: salary range. We must ensure we don't lose any info: also mention "Maintain current working knowledge of ICD-10 and/or CPT/HCPCS and coding guidelines, government regulations, protocols and third-party requirements regarding coding and/or billing." That's a responsibility? Actually it's under responsibilities list (the 7th bullet). We included that in responsibilities? We have not yet. Let's add that as a responsibility bullet. Also "Participate in continuing education activities to enhance knowledge, skills, and maintain current credentials." That's also responsibility. We have those. Now ensure we didn't miss any duty: "Complete assigned work functions utilizing appropriate resources. May act as a resource with client staff for data integrity, clarification and assistance in understanding and determining appropriate and compliant coding practices including provider queries." Included. Now check for any other info: "Coder II may validate APC calculations to accurately capture the diagnoses/procedures documented in the clinical record for hospitals." Already in intro. Now ensure we didn't include boilerplate: EEO, California Job Candidate Notice, etc. Remove. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
