Risk Adjustment Auditor

Fathom is on a mission to use AI to understand and structure the world’s medical data, starting by making sense of the terabytes of clinician notes contained within the electronic health records of the world’s largest health systems. Our deep learning engine automates the translation of patient records into the billing codes used for healthcare provider reimbursement, a process today that costs hospitals in the US $15B+ annually and tens of billions more in errors and denied claims. We are a venture-backed company that completed a Series B round of financing for $46M in late 2022.

We are seeking a Risk Adjustment Auditor to contribute to Fathom’s next stage of growth. This role is a unique opportunity for an experienced medical coder with robust risk adjustment auditing experience, excellent communication and self-presentation skills, the drive to help a high-growth startup scale, and the desire to transform the future of medical coding.  If this speaks to you, we want to hear from you!
