• Summary
• Be the calm problem-solver behind the scenes—support Epic stability and HIM workflows that patients and staff rely on.

We’re hiring an Epic-certified and experienced HIM Coding Analyst. This is hands-on, operational work: you’ll spend your time resolving tickets, handling break-fix issues, and delivering small optimization projects that keep Epic running smoothly for the client’s teams—and for the patients they serve. A typical day includes a steady flow of requests and problem-solving: you’ll triage and troubleshoot incoming tickets, dig into workflows and build to find root cause, coordinate with client stakeholders to confirm needs and priorities, and document changes so fixes are traceable and repeatable. Depending on level, you’ll either focus on reliable execution with growing autonomy or lead more complex work—anticipating downstream impacts, guiding decisions, and mentoring others.

• Responsibilities
• Required: current Epic certifications in HIM Coding and experience as an Epic analyst. See additional details below!

What You’ll Do

• (Exact scope varies by specialization and level—this is the shared core.)
• Act as an extension of a client’s Epic team, supporting day-to-day stability and continuous improvement in Epic’s HIM Coding application.
• Triage and resolve incoming tickets: clarify the issue, reproduce it when needed, determine urgency/impact, and move it through to resolution.
• Handle break-fix work by troubleshooting workflows/build, identifying root cause, and implementing safe, well-tested fixes.
• Deliver small optimization projects that improve reliability, reduce friction, and help the client’s teams work more effectively.
• Translate requests into clear, testable requirements—confirming what success looks like before you build.
• Configure/update Epic build within your specialty area, following standards and keeping documentation clean and traceable.
• Plan and execute appropriate testing (unit/integrated/regression as needed), validate outcomes, and ensure fixes don’t create downstream issues.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with client stakeholders and internal teammates: status, timelines, risks, tradeoffs, and next steps.
• Escalate when risk, complexity, or impact crosses thresholds—and bring recommended options, not just problems.
• For Senior roles: lead more ambiguous troubleshooting, anticipate dependencies, drive prioritization, and mentor others to strengthen ticket quality, root-cause analysis, and delivery practices.
