Who we help you hire

A coder who turns the doctor's notes into clean claims and keeps the rejection rate low.

What to check before hiring

We check what will later show up in your rejection rate.

1
Certification: a current coding certificate such as CPC or CCS, verified with the issuing body.
2
Coding test: a short test on anonymised charts from your specialties, scored for accuracy.
3
Results: rejection and resubmission numbers in previous roles, and which insurers and platforms they worked with.
4
Visa status: own visa, transferable or new sponsorship; the employer sponsors the work permit and residence visa.

A medical coder is not a clinical role. Health authority and insurer rules on who may code and submit claims differ between Dubai and Abu Dhabi and change over time, so confirm the current requirement for your facility with DHA or DOH.
