3. Show remote readiness — stable hardware, secure workspace, VPN experience, remote EHR access examples.
4. Soft skills — written communication (asynchronous emails), ability to handle time zones, self-management.
5. Automation literacy — show familiarity with automation/AI tools or macros that improve throughput.
6. Networking — AAPC chapters, LinkedIn groups, HIM communities, remote job Slack groups.

Day-in-the-life (typical responsibilities for mid-career remote coder)

• Review charts (EHR access) and assign ICD-10/CPT/HCPCS codes per guidelines.
• Post corrections, submit/appeal claims, work denials with payers.
• Participate in virtual huddles with clinicians, audit charts for accuracy.
