HCC Coders invites you to join our team and get matched with employers needing your services
The health care industry is one of the few sectors of the economy that can be expected to grow even in the midst of a downturn. After all, people still need health care, and as the baby boomer generation ages, more people will need more of it. HCC coding offers an excellent way to break into the health care field without the need to undergo extensive training and/or relocate to a major metropolitan area.
What Is HCC Coding?
HCC codes are a system of medical classifications used to describe patient histories, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments in a standardized fashion that can then be used for billing and record-keeping purposes. HCC coding is the process of taking a patient chart or medical history and assigning the correct HCC codes to the different line items.
Work From Home with HCC Coders
Hospitals, nursing homes, insurance agencies, health plan providers, and various other health care organizations all need HCC coders to work for them. Sometimes the coders work onsite, but it is also quite common for the coders to work from home. This is the type of work that HCC Coders facilitates. We pair the pre-screened HCC coding specialists we’ve accepted into our network with full time, part time, or project-based HCC coding opportunities with our clients. You’ll be able to work from home on a schedule that suits you.
