Inpatient Corporate Coder - Remote based in the US

We are a community built on care. Our caregivers and supporting staff extend compassion to those in need, helping to improve the health and well-being of those we serve, and provide comfort and healing. Your community is our community.

We started out as a small operation in California. In May 1969, we acquired four hospitals, some additional care facilities and real estate for the future development of hospitals. Over the years, we've grown tremendously in size, scope and capability, building a home in new markets over time, and curating those homes to provide a compassionate environment for those entrusting us with their care.

Today, we are a leading health system and services platform that continues to evolve in lockstep with community need. Tenet's operations include three businesses—our hospitals and physicians, USPI and Conifer Health Solutions. Our impact spreads far and deep with 65 hospitals and approximately 510 outpatient centers and additional sites of care. We are differentiated by our top-notch medical specialists and service lines that are tailored within each community we serve.
