Facility-Fee Emergency Department Medical Coder

Accurately review and code Emergency Department facility encounters by assigning ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, CPT/HCPCS procedure codes, and applicable modifiers. Determine facility E/M levels using client-specific guidelines and tools like ACEP, apply CMS and NCCI rules, and ensure charge capture from nursing, physician, and ancillary documentation. Maintain Medicare/Medicaid/commercial compliance, participate in coding audits and quality reviews, and stay current on reimbursement and regulatory updates.
