Job Overview
Our client in Jaipur requires a Medical Coder to review inpatient and outpatient records, assign appropriate codes, and support accurate healthcare documentation for billing and reporting purposes. The role is suitable for a candidate who understands medical terminology and can work carefully with clinical records.
Detailed Job Description
The Medical Coder will review physician notes, discharge summaries, investigation results, operative notes where applicable, medication records, and procedure documentation before assigning diagnosis and procedure codes according to the coding system used by the employer. The role includes checking whether documentation supports the selected code, raising clarification queries when details are missing, maintaining productivity and accuracy targets, and following payer or client-specific rules. The candidate must understand that coding is not only data entry; it requires interpretation of clinical documentation and responsible handling of confidential health information.
The position involves regular coordination with quality auditors, team leads, billing teams, and documentation specialists. The coder should be able to identify incomplete records, inconsistent terminology, missing discharge details, and cases that require physician clarification. The candidate will be expected to maintain coding accuracy, meet daily file targets, participate in feedback sessions, and update knowledge when guidelines change. Strong concentration, medical vocabulary, and willingness to learn are important for success in this role.
Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable with computer-based work, and able to maintain accuracy even during repetitive tasks. Candidates from nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, life sciences, or medical-record backgrounds may be suitable if they have coding exposure or formal training. Final salary and shift pattern will depend on employer interview, test performance, and coding experience.
Licensing / Registration Notes
No clinical licence is mandatory unless specified by the employer. Coding certification such as CPC, CCS, COC, or equivalent training will be an advantage. Candidates should provide education certificates, coding training proof, and experience documents where available.
