Provide coding training, curriculum development, and coding competency assessment — from home.
Virelia Health connects coding educators with opportunities across coding training, curriculum development, and remote coding competency assessment.
We are seeking qualified Coding Educators for remote opportunities supporting hospitals, health systems, physician groups, coding vendors, and healthcare education organizations.
A Remote Coding Educator delivers coding training, develops coding curriculum, and supports coder competency and professional growth. Working within their coding certification and coding education scope, the coding educator assesses training needs, develops coding education programs, delivers coding training to coders and providers, evaluates coding competency, and supports ongoing coding professional development.
This position is well-suited to an experienced coding educator with coding training knowledge, curriculum development experience, and coding certification who wants to work in a virtual setting — providing meaningful coding education support with schedule flexibility and without the demands of a facility-based environment.
The specific education focus (coder training, provider education, specialty coding), training volume, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote coding educator jobs, work-from-home coding educator jobs, remote coding trainer jobs, virtual coding educator, or telehealth coding education specialist roles.
Virtual coding education runs on scheduled training sessions and curriculum development workflows, giving your workday predictability and structure. Programs typically offer daytime weekday coverage, with some programs supporting evening or weekend training sessions for shift-based coder teams. Many programs offer flexible 8- or 10-hour days, and some educators work 4-day compressed weeks or part-time schedules. There are no facility floor assignments and no physical demands. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Coding Educator, you may support coding education across a range of virtual training encounters.
Virtual coding education is a growing area of healthcare education — driven by increased demand for coding accuracy, expanded telehealth coverage for remote education work, and the recognition that coding educators improve coding accuracy and coder competency through structured coding education. Virtual coding educators extend education reach, support hospitals and health systems, and improve coding education quality across organizations.
Depending on the program, virtual coding education may focus on:
The coding educator's role is to provide coding education within their coding certification and coding education scope — including training needs assessment, curriculum development, coding training delivery, coder competency assessment, education documentation, and coding education program support. Clinical decisions, patient care decisions, and clinical documentation decisions remain with clinical leadership and provider documentation; the coding educator supports the education process and coordinates with coding, education, and clinical teams.
This structure keeps the role focused on coding training, curriculum development, competency assessment, documentation, and coding education program support.
Effective virtual coding education depends on strong coding training skills and curriculum development knowledge — the educator's teaching expertise and coding insight determine how to help coders and providers achieve coding accuracy and documentation improvement.
Depending on the program and education focus, you may support coding education by:
Teaching expertise, coding knowledge, and clear communication are essential — coding educators are the education professionals who help coders and providers achieve coding accuracy and documentation improvement.
A Remote Coding Educator may follow a structured workflow across each virtual coding education encounter.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Coding education directly affects coding accuracy, coder competency, and organizational coding performance. All coding education must comply with ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, DRG, and APC coding guidelines, coding education accreditation rules, and organizational education policy. Education concerns requiring education leadership input, compliance concerns, or education issues affecting coding performance must be escalated following the employer's escalation protocol. Coding educators must maintain HIPAA compliance and protect patient data across all virtual coding education work.
Experience or certification in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing coding education assignments and training schedules — checking coding training priorities and curriculum development tasks.
You'll develop or update coding curriculum — creating coding training materials, presentations, and assessments for coder and provider audiences.
You'll deliver coding training sessions — leading live coding training, onboarding sessions, and continuing education webinars for coders and providers.
Between training activities, you'll evaluate coding competency, support coding education programs, and document training work accurately in the learning management system.
Throughout the day, you'll coordinate with coding teams, education teams, and clinical teams, and support coding education compliance and quality.
The role combines coding training delivery, curriculum development, competency assessment, coding education program support, documentation, and professional development.
Unlike coding compliance auditor work, which focuses on independent coding audits and compliance review, coding educator work focuses specifically on coding training and professional development — you're the educator who helps coders and providers achieve coding accuracy through structured coding education.
This position is designed for remote coding education delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for virtual training delivery, a private workspace suitable for confidential education work, and comfort with multiple education and coding systems.
