Track education completion, coding accuracy trends by provider, and program effectiveness; report results to Clinical and RCM leadership.

Partner with organization leadership to evaluate new technologies (e.g., computer-assisted coding, AI-driven documentation or coding tools) and resources that support clinician documentation and coding workflows. Assist in configuring coding edits and claim-scrubbing rules within RCM systems to support clean claim submission and reduce front-end denials. Support provider education and EMR workflow training related to MIPS-related quality and documentation requirements. Support responses to payer coding audits, RADV requests, and other external chart review requests as needed.
