Medical Coder - Albany, NY

Overview

As a medical coder on our team, you’ll play a vital role ensuring our claims process runs smoothly and efficiently for our customers. Attention to detail is invaluable as you review and enter medical billing information, ensure billing codes correspond with and support medical records, and apply applicable fee schedules and coding rules while making appropriate adjustments. The ideal candidate will have strong customer service and interpersonal skills – which you’ll rely on while assisting medical representatives with coding questions and answering calls from customers, providers, billing offices and attorneys.

This is a hybrid role. You’ll be expected to report to an office about four days per month for important meetings, training, and collaboration and will have the benefit of continued coaching from a supportive team. If you prefer an in-office environment, you’re welcome to work in the office more than four days per month.

Candidate must reside within 50 miles of Progressive's Albany Claims Office at 725 Broadway, Albany, NY 12207.
