The role also encompasses performing HHS-RADV Audits, which includes preparing charts for Initial Validation Auditors (IVA) and evaluating IVA results. When applicable, the Specialist will provide relevant ICD-10-CM Guidelines, AHA Coding Clinic references, and/or CMS Guidelines to substantiate the validity of ICD-10-CM code assignments.

Continuous Learning
Maintaining a current and robust understanding of coding regulations and CMS guidelines in both inpatient and outpatient environments is critical. The Senior Specialist must prioritize compliant interpretation and integration of ICD-10-CM and ICD-9-CM coding guidelines and CMS regulations into their audit work promptly.

Furthermore, they will research and resolve coding inquiries and risk adjustment regulatory challenges.

Proficiency in ICD-10-CM coding and CRC certification is mandatory. A minimum of 7 years of coding experience is preferred, particularly in a health plan, hospital, or physician practice environment.
