Hi Wanda,

I work for a third party auditing company and we are seeking coders to work remotely on a contract basis. This would not be full-time, but on a project basis. We currently have a need for CCS and CPC coders. In particular, we have a project coming up soon auditing dental claims. Would you be interested? The dental project would require travel (one week), which is paid for, plus a per claim fee.

Please contact me if you are available. Meredith Tekin at 904-207-7704. Thank you!
