Hello Everyone,
I am a Medical Review Coordinator with an Independent Review Organization (IRO) and a CCP (Certified Coding Professional) which is equivalent to a CPC. I have 20 years experience working on the physician side and now am working in the internal appeals process applying coding expertise to appeals submitted to us by self-insured medical plans. I am also the IRO's inpatient repricing expert and have been introduced to DRG coding for specific appeals catagories. I have no certifications in these last two areas but I hold a current Certified Medical Auditing Specialist (CMAS) certificate through AAMAS.
I am looking at changing jobs but I'm a little stumped as to where to go from here. Coding jobs on the physician side don't seem interested in me nor do they pay at my current rate. I have explored jobs on the payor side but have yet to see anything that fits my skill set.
Any ideas? Is anyone else in this position?
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
