• Review encounter notes, progress notes, operative reports, consults, laboratory and imaging results, and discharge summaries.
• Assign ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS codes from documented clinical information.
• Identify and sequence principal and secondary diagnoses according to applicable guidelines.
• Apply modifiers and Present on Admission indicators when appropriate.
• Flag documentation gaps and query opportunities while preserving data integrity.
• Provide accurate feedback on complex coding cases and coding guidelines.
