Wiki Experienced HCC Coder Needed for Immediate Remote Work

[jschmutz]

I am looking for a handful of experienced HCC coders and this is VERY last minute. I apologize for that. See below for details.

• This is a CONTRACT position for a SHORT TERM Project. It will go for at least 8 weeks (Feb 2 thru mid-March).
• You must have at least 2 years of active HCC coding experience.
• This position is a 20-30 hour week position
• HCC Coding for 2014 year.
• Charts average 300-500 pages but can range anywhere from 100-5000 pages.
• Most coders on this project average 6-8+ charts per hour.
• Minimum requirement of 300 charts per pay period (600 charts a month)
• Minimum requirement of 4+ charts per hour on average
• Pays $14.00 - $30.00 per hour (based on CPH, as long as minimum requirements are met).
• The overall team average for charts per hour is 6.8 charts per hour.
• You must maintain a 95% accuracy. This is the clients rule. They will work with you to get your score up as long as you are showing progress.
• Mandatory interactive, live-online training required. I pay $15/hour for the training and you must code a minimum of 600 charts before you are reimbursed for the training. Training/testing is approximately 5 hours total.
• Signed contract with Aviacode that is approved by the client.
• Proof of credentials (CPC or equivalent).
• You will be paid twice a month on the 10th and 26th. The pay periods go from 1-15 and 16-31.
• This is a 1099 position.
• Must have a Windows Based Operating System (MAC is not compatible)

There is a mandatory HCC test that will be given tomorrow by the client from 7pm - 9pm MST (hence the urgency).

If you are interested please send your answers to the following questions to Jennifer.Schmutz@aviacode.com by 2:00pm MST on Friday, Jan 30. Again, I apologize for the short notice.

Hi I am interested in the interactive on-line training, is that available without having to commit to the project? Of course I would pay any related expenses personally. HCCs is an area that I would like to dive into after I finish an ICD-10 project for a current client. Thank you.
