About the role
Aptive Resources is hiring remote outpatient coders to support Veterans Affairs medical centers in Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. You'll code clinic visits, ancillary services, and outpatient surgery for Veterans, using the VA's electronic health record.

- Assign E/M levels according to current E/M guidelines, CPT Assistant, and Coding Clinic.
- Apply NCCI bundling edits, and add modifiers when appropriate to override them (for example 25, 59, and 91).
- Check that multiple CPT codes aren't parts of a larger procedure that one code describes.
- Assign an ICD-10 diagnosis to each ancillary or diagnostic test, based on why it was ordered.
- Review documentation in CPRS and enter codes and data in the VistA Patient Care Encounter (PCE) package through the VA-approved encoder.
- Decide whether an encounter is billable, and flag duplicate encounters, encounters created in error, and records that don't support the codes.

- Maintain at least 95% accuracy and meet each facility's turnaround times.
