Who should apply

This role is suited to professionals with hands-on experience in medical coding, healthcare analytics, or reporting, especially in a remote environment. Candidates should be comfortable working independently, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and interpreting complex clinical and claims data.

Work authorization

Employer-sponsored visa support is not available for this position. Applicants must already be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire and must keep that authorization throughout employment.

Candidates will be asked to test and confirm their internet speed during the application process.

Identity verification

As part of the hiring process, candidates will need to appear on video for all interviews after the initial phone screen. The company may also take steps at different points in the process to confirm candidate identity and prevent fraudulent applications.

Failure to follow the identity verification process may lead to removal from the hiring process, withdrawal of an offer, or termination of employment if fraud is discovered.
