Revenue Integrity Analyst

JOB DESCRIPTION Job Title Revenue Integrity Specialist FLSA Non-Exempt Reports to Manager, RCM Grade J Location Remote Band 2A Summary/Objective Under general supervision, the Revenue Integrity Specialist is the operating muscle of the charge capture engine. Day to day, this individual reviews charge tickets (both paper scanned and electronic feeds from EHR) against clinical documentation, applies Omega charge capture guidelines to validate or correct the charge, reconciles charges to encounters, surfaces missed charges, and supports the dashboarding effort by feeding clean, categorized exception data upstream. The Specialist works across hospital and physician charging contexts, with a working understanding of CPT, HCPCS, ICD-10-CM, modifiers, revenue codes, and place of service implications. Essential Job Functions Review paper charge tickets, electronic charge tickets (e-superbills), and EHR-driven charge feeds for completeness, accuracy, and adherence to charge capture guidelines. Maintain a clear, auditable documentation trail in the workflow tool, drafting exception notes to defend NCCI (PTP/MUE) and OCE modifier decisions for external auditor review. Validate CPT / HCPCS code selection against documentation; verify modifier appropriateness (25, 26/TC, 50, 51, 59 / X{EPSU}, 76/77, 91, 95, AS / AA / QX / QY / QK, GA / GY / GZ) . Flag missing or mis-applied units, incorrect revenue codes, place-of-service mismatches, and date-of-service inconsistencies. Reconcile daily charge files against scheduled / completed encounters from EHR (Epic / Cerner / Meditech) — every encounter must have either a posted charge, a documented exception, or a defensible no-charge reason. Investigate variances within agreed turnaround time; raise tickets for system-level issues (interface failures, charge router rule gaps, incorrect EAP linkage). Apply CMS, NCCI, and client specific charge capture guidelines, including modifier driven bypass logic and outpatient OCE edits. Identify systemic charge capture defects (e.g., recurring infusion start/stop time gaps, recurring Mod 25 misuse on E/M with procedure) and escalate root cause to Lead with sample evidence. Categorize exceptions, denials-prevention findings, and missed charge recoveries using the standard taxonomy so revenue-integrity dashboards remain consistent across pods. Produce daily / weekly individual productivity and accuracy reports; participate in calibration sessions led by QA. Operate within HIPAA, HITRUST, and Omega information security policy; never share PHI outside designated channels. Cooperate with internal QA audits (sample-based, IQ/EQ) and respond to audit feedback with documented corrective action. Key Success Indicators/Attributes Detail oriented under volume pressure – comfortable with repetitive review work without losing accuracy. Coachability – willing to absorb feedback from QA without defensiveness; uses calibration sessions to improve. Crisp written communication – exception notes are read by US revenue integrity managers; clarity matters more than length. Time discipline – meets daily TAT; flags blockers early rather than at end of shift. Confidentiality and ethical handling of PHI. Maintain courteous and professional working relationships with employees at all levels of the organization.
