Sample interview questionsHow do you determine whether a diagnosis is valid for HCC risk adjustment coding?I verify that the diagnosis is clearly documented by an appropriate provider, assessed or addressed during the encounter, and supported by the clinical record. I apply current ICD-10-CM and client-specific guidance, ensuring the code reflects the highest supported level of specificity without inferring undocumented conditions.

How would you handle an audit finding that conflicts with a coder’s interpretation?

I would review the complete documentation, applicable coding guidance, and client rules before explaining the finding objectively. In my rebuttal response, I would cite the relevant documentation and guideline so the decision is consistent, educational, and defensible.

What practices help you maintain a 95% or higher diagnosis-level quality rate in a production environment?

I use a structured audit workflow, validate documentation-to-code linkage for each diagnosis, and pause to research uncertain cases rather than making assumptions. I also track recurring error patterns, review guideline updates, and use feedback to improve both speed and accuracy.

Describe how you adapt when working across clients with different coding guidelines.

I review each client’s current specifications before beginning a queue and maintain clear reference notes for material differences. I separate client-specific rules from standard ICD-10 guidance and ask the quality lead for clarification early when a rule is ambiguous.

How do you protect sensitive patient information while working remotely?

I follow HIPAA and company security procedures by using approved systems and secure connections, limiting access to authorized work purposes, and preventing unauthorized viewing or sharing of records. I also maintain a private workspace and promptly report any suspected privacy or security concern.
