• Champion compliance with Medicare Conditions of Participation and other state and federal regulations, serving as the go-to expert and liaison across departments.

• Strong working knowledge of DRG, ICD-9, and CPT coding as it relates to physician documentation and insurance billing.

About the Hospital:

• A well-established regional medical center with a case management department of roughly 50 FTEs, supporting a full continuum of patient care.
• Staff are equipped with individual tablets and zip-code-based resource search tools, keeping the team efficient and connected to community resources.
• Known internally for a genuinely supportive culture, with an active team group chat where staff regularly jump in to help one another.
