Lead medical coding validation for AI-generated documentation, ensuring accurate application of ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS codes across diverse clinical scenarios
Develop coding guidelines and protocols that translate complex medical coding rules into systematic processes our AI can learn and apply consistently
Conduct quality audits of AI-coded documentation, identifying patterns, gaps, and opportunities for improvement in coding accuracy and compliance
Collaborate with engineering teams to translate medical coding expertise into technical requirements, validation rules, and system improvements
Work directly with clinicians to understand documentation patterns, clinical decision-making, and coding challenges in real-world healthcare settings
Ensure regulatory compliance with CMS guidelines, payer-specific coding requirements, and emerging healthcare regulations
Train and mentor junior coders and provide coding expertise to cross-functional teams
Analyze coding data and metrics to identify trends, accuracy patterns, and areas for system optimization
Stay current with coding updates including annual ICD-10 and CPT updates, payer policy changes, and industry best practices
Support customer implementations by providing coding expertise during enterprise client onboarding and troubleshooting
What we’ll look for:
5+ years of professional medical coding experience in hospital, clinic, or health system environments
Expert-level knowledge of ICD-10-CM/PCS, CPT, HCPCS Level II, and medical terminology across multiple specialties
Professional certifications such as CCS, CPC, RHIA, RHIT, or equivalent recognized coding credentials
Multi-specialty coding experience including inpatient, outpatient, emergency department, and specialty clinic coding
Strong understanding of Medicare/Medicaid guidelines, commercial payer requirements, and compliance regulations
Experience with coding audits and quality assurance processes, including accuracy measurement and improvement initiatives
Familiarity with EHR systems and clinical documentation workflows in various healthcare settings
Analytical skills with ability to identify coding patterns, trends, and systematic issues
Communication skills to work effectively with clinical teams, engineers, and healthcare administrators
Adaptability to work in a fast-paced technology environment and translate traditional coding processes into innovative AI-powered solutions

Heidi builds for the future of healthcare, not just the next quarter, and our goals are ambitious because the world’s health demands it. We believe in progress built through precision, pace, and ownership.
Live Forever - Every release moves care forward: measured, safe, and built to last. Data guides us, but patients define the truth that matters.
Practice Ownership - Decisions follow logic and proof, not hierarchy. Exceptional care demands exceptional standards in our work, our thinking, and our character.
Small Cuts Heal Faster - Stability earns trust, speed delivers impact. Progress is about learning fast without breaking what people depend on.
Make others better - Feedback is direct, kindness is constant, and excellence lifts everyone. Our success is measured by collective growth, not individual output.
Our mission is clear: expand the world’s capacity to care, and do it without losing the humanity that makes care worth delivering.
