rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: US
Field: Medical

Review inpatient medical charts to assess documentation, diagnosis and procedure coding, POA indicators, and MS-DRG assignment. The work supports AI training through evidence-based findings on coding accuracy, clinical validation, and documentation gaps.

What the work involves

You will audit admission notes, progress notes, operative reports, consultations, lab and imaging results, and discharge summaries. Reviews cover ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS coding, sequencing, Present on Admission indicators, MS-DRG assignment, missed CCs and MCCs, clinical validation, and potential query opportunities.

What micro1 is likely to screen for

The screen will look for concrete chart review, coding audit, or clinical documentation improvement experience. Expect follow-up on how you apply the ICD-10-CM/PCS Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, AHA Coding Clinic guidance, and clinical validation criteria when documentation is incomplete or conflicting. You should also be able to explain findings clearly enough for project stakeholders and AI training workflows.

Practical details

This is a remote US contractor role, and prior AI experience is not required. The listing does not state typical weekly hours, project duration, or whether all work can be completed asynchronously. Access to current ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets, Official Coding Guidelines, and an MS-DRG grouper is expected.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This verifies whether your CCS, CIC, CPC, RN, or other clinical background is current and directly connected to reviewing documentation and coded data.
A strong answer: State the credential, its current status, the review setting, and the chart types you handled. Quantify the scope where possible and distinguish direct auditing or CDI work from production coding alone.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming a certification without explaining whether they have independently reviewed complete records, challenged assigned codes, or documented audit findings.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
