As a result of recent new VHA contracts awarded, Cooper Thomas, LLC, a leading provider of medical coding, auditing, and training services to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), has immediate openings for VA experienced Inpatient PTF Coders with at least 2 years of experience for full-time (W-2) for 40 hours a week or part-time (1099) remote coding positions, with the opportunity for a flexible schedule of a minimum of 20 hours a week for part-time PTF coders. Part-time employment can be an ideal opportunity for a candidate looking to supplement their primary income with a predictable, steady, weekly volume of PTF coding.
Previous experience with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is required, either as a VA employee or a contractor working for VA. You should have experience working in a productivity-driven environment with a government contractor and will be expected to code at an accuracy level of at least 95%. All coders are responsible for correcting their own errors without further payment. This work will be performed remotely in your home office at your convenience as long as you meet the required turnaround time to complete coding.
If you have recently left VHA due to DRP and/or early retirement or currently work for another VHA Contractor, a full-time or part-time position may be right for you.
