You will review outpatient clinical documentation and produce accurate coding input for AI training systems. Your work will help models better understand documentation, diagnoses, procedures, and encounter complexity.

Records may come from physician offices, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital outpatient departments. You will use professional coding judgment, follow official guidelines, and provide clear feedback on difficult cases and workflow issues.

• Assign ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II codes from documented clinical information.
• Apply outpatient Evaluation and Management leveling using medical decision making or total time.
• Follow outpatient diagnosis coding conventions, modifier requirements, medical necessity standards, and diagnosis-to-procedure linkage.
• Review office visit notes, procedure notes, operative reports, and other clinical documentation.
• Clarify incomplete or ambiguous documentation through written and verbal communication.
• Give detailed feedback on coding guidelines and edge cases to improve AI model understanding.

About AI training work

AI training is the human work behind systems that learn from examples, including reviewing documents, labeling information, and rating model outputs. Medical coders contribute specialized knowledge that helps AI systems interpret clinical documentation more accurately.
