Inpatient Coder III
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, application instructions. The posting includes:
- Position Overview (description)
- Primary Department, Division, Or Unit: Facility Coding, UHS Revenue Cycle Operations
- Primary Work Shift: Day
- Regular Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40
- Compensation Range: $33.63 - $50.45 per hour, depending on experience
- Education/Experience Minimum High School Diploma Two (2) years of inpatient coding experience Preferred Associates degree in HIT or related field
- License/Certification Minimum Required CPC, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, OR CIC Certification Preferred CIC Certification
- Why You’ll Love Working at UHS (culture, benefits etc.)
- About United Health Services (company description)
- Then EEO statement etc (remove)
- Also note about not affiliated with Universal Health Services (maybe remove as legal boilerplate)
We need to map content to sections.
Sections possible:
- About the role: Could be Position Overview + maybe primary department etc. We'll put overview.
- Responsibilities: The description includes "performs independent coding of inpatient medical records, ensuring accuracy assigning ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes for inpatient hospital encounters in compliance with official coding guidelines, regulatory agencies, and hospital policies." Also maybe mention DRG assignment, clinical documentation, coding compliance. So responsibilities.
- Requirements: Education/Experience Minimum High School Diploma Two (2) years of inpatient coding experience Preferred Associates degree in HIT or related field. Also maybe license/certification.
- Qualifications: Could be license/certification Minimum Required CPC, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, OR CIC Certification Preferred CIC Certification.
- Skills: Not explicitly listed but could infer knowledge of DRG assignment, clinical documentation, coding compliance. Might be considered skills. But we should only include if posting has real specific content. It mentions "requires prior coding experience and strong knowledge of DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) assignment, clinical documentation, and coding compliance." That's skills/knowledge. So we can put Skills.
- Benefits: The "Why You’ll Love Working at UHS" includes benefits: medical, dental, vision coverage, PTO accrual, 403(b) retirement plan with match, flexible spending accounts, access to financial advisors, up to $400/year wellness rewards, 24/7 EAP counseling, virtual mental health support, food pantry, PTO donation program, professional attire through Classy Closet, discounted childcare via Bright Horizons, voluntary benefits like pet insurance, legal services, identity theft protection, tuition reimbursement, leadership programs, internal mobility, etc. Also culture aspects. So we can include Benefits.
- Pay: Compensation Range: $33.63 - $50.45 per hour, depending on experience.
- Schedule: Primary Work Shift: Day; Regular Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay is specific. Schedule is specific.
We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading.
We must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal disclaimer about not affiliated with Universal Health Services, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Why You’ll Love Working at UHS" heading? We'll treat that as Benefits section content.
We also have "About United Health Services" which is company description; could be part of About the role? Or maybe we could add a section "About the Company" but not in allowed headings. The allowed headings are limited to those list. We could put company description under About the role? But About the role is supposed to be about the role, not company. However we have no other heading for company info. The instructions: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples; we can use those headings. It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we should map all content into those sections. Company description could go under About the role? Or maybe we can omit it if not fitting? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include company description somewhere. Could put it under About the role as a brief description of the employer. That seems acceptable.
Thus About the role will contain: Position Overview (the description of the role) plus Primary Department etc plus maybe company overview.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract all substantive info:
- Position Overview sentence: "The Inpatient Coder III performs independent coding of inpatient medical records, ensuring accuracy assigning ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes for inpatient hospital encounters in compliance with official coding guidelines, regulatory agencies, and hospital policies. This role requires prior coding experience and strong knowledge of DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) assignment, clinical documentation, and coding compliance."
- Primary Department, Division, Or Unit: Facility Coding, UHS Revenue Cycle Operations
- Primary Work Shift: Day
- Regular Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40
- Compensation Range: $33.63 - $50.45 per hour, depending on experience
- Education/Experience Minimum: High School Diploma; Two (2) years of inpatient coding experience
- Preferred: Associates degree in HIT or related field
- License/Certification Minimum Required: CPC, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, OR CIC Certification
- Preferred: CIC Certification
- Why You’ll Love Working at UHS: includes culture, benefits details.
- About United Health Services: description of UHS.
We need to avoid repeating similar content.
Now decide sections:
About the role: Could contain Position Overview + Primary Department + maybe company overview.
Responsibilities: The duties: performing independent coding, ensuring accuracy assigning ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes, compliance, DRG assignment, clinical documentation, coding compliance.
Requirements: Education/Experience Minimum High School Diploma, Two (2) years inpatient coding experience.
Qualifications: License/Certification Minimum Required CPC, RHIA, RHIT, CCS, OR CIC Certification; Preferred CIC Certification.
Skills: Strong knowledge of DRG assignment, clinical documentation, coding compliance; prior coding experience.
Benefits: All benefits and culture details from "Why You’ll Love Working at UHS" plus maybe tuition reimbursement etc.
Pay: Compensation Range.
Schedule: Primary Work Shift: Day; Regular Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40.
We must not include fluff like "depending on experience" is okay.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits we should use lists.
For About the role, we can use
prose.
For Pay and Schedule, we can use

Now ensure we don't repeat job title.
