Lead coding teams, manage coding operations, and support coder performance — from home.
Virelia Health connects coding managers with opportunities across coding team leadership, coding operations management, and remote coding department oversight.
We are seeking qualified Coding Managers for remote opportunities supporting hospitals, health systems, physician groups, coding vendors, and healthcare revenue cycle organizations.
A Remote Coding Manager leads coding teams, manages coding operations, and supports coder performance and coding quality. Working within their coding certification and coding management scope, the coding manager oversees coding workflow, manages coder productivity and quality, supports coder professional development, and leads coding department operations for the employer.
This position is well-suited to an experienced coding manager with coding team leadership knowledge, coding operations management experience, and coding certification who wants to work in a virtual setting — providing meaningful coding leadership with schedule flexibility and without the demands of a facility-based environment.
The specific coding department size, coding focus (facility, professional, risk adjustment), and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote coding manager jobs, work-from-home coding manager jobs, remote coding supervisor jobs, virtual coding manager, or telehealth coding department manager roles.
Virtual coding management runs on scheduled management workflows and coding operations cycles, giving your workday predictability and structure. Programs typically offer daytime weekday coverage, with some programs supporting extended hours during coding production peaks. Many programs offer flexible 8- or 10-hour days, and some managers 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 Manager, you may lead coding operations across a range of virtual management workflows.
Virtual coding management is a growing area of healthcare leadership — driven by increased demand for coding accuracy, expanded telehealth coverage for remote leadership work, and the recognition that coding managers improve coding accuracy and coding operations through effective team leadership. Virtual coding managers extend leadership reach, support hospitals and health systems, and improve coding department performance across organizations.
Depending on the program, virtual coding management may focus on:
The coding manager's role is to provide coding leadership within their coding certification and coding management scope — including coding team leadership, coding operations management, coder performance management, coding quality oversight, coding staffing, coding policy development, and coding compliance oversight. Clinical decisions, patient care decisions, and clinical documentation decisions remain with clinical leadership and provider documentation; the coding manager supports the leadership process and coordinates with revenue cycle, compliance, and clinical documentation teams.
This structure keeps the role focused on coding team leadership, coding operations management, coder performance management, documentation, and coding compliance oversight.
Effective virtual coding management depends on strong coding operations skills and leadership knowledge — the manager's leadership expertise and coding insight determine how to help coding teams achieve coding accuracy, productivity, and professional growth.
Depending on the program and management focus, you may support coding management by:
Leadership expertise, coding knowledge, and clear communication are essential — coding managers are the leaders who help coding teams achieve coding accuracy, productivity, and professional growth.
A Remote Coding Manager may follow a structured workflow across each virtual management cycle.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Coding management directly affects coding accuracy, coding operations, coder performance, and organizational coding performance. All coding management must comply with ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS, DRG, and APC coding guidelines, CMS and payer requirements, human resources policy, and organizational management policy. Management concerns requiring executive leadership input, compliance concerns, or management issues affecting organizational coding performance must be escalated following the employer's escalation protocol. Coding managers must maintain HIPAA compliance and protect patient data across all virtual coding management work.
Experience or certification in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing coding operations dashboards — checking coder productivity, coding quality metrics, and coding workload priorities.
You'll assign coding workload — distributing coding assignments and supporting coding coverage across your remote coding team.
You'll monitor productivity and quality — reviewing coder productivity and coding accuracy, providing coder coaching and development, and supporting coding quality improvement.
Between management activities, you'll prepare management reports, support coding compliance oversight, and document management work accurately in the management system.
Throughout the day, you'll coordinate with revenue cycle teams, compliance teams, and clinical documentation teams, and support coding compliance with CMS and payer requirements.
The role combines coding team leadership, coding operations management, coder performance management, coding quality oversight, documentation, and coding compliance oversight.
Unlike coding educator work, which focuses on coding training and development, coding manager work focuses specifically on coding team leadership and operations management — you're the manager who leads coding teams to achieve coding accuracy, productivity, and professional growth.
This position is designed for remote coding management delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for coding system remote access, a private workspace suitable for confidential management work, and comfort with multiple coding, management, and reporting systems.
