CSI Companies is hiring Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) professionals for multiple contract opportunities supporting documentation integrity, reimbursement accuracy, and quality outcomes. These roles vary by focus area (Inpatient, Outpatient/Practice, and Team Lead) and may include remote work with limited onsite requirements depending on the assignment.

Schedule: 40 hours/week (typical)
Work Type: Remote/Hybrid (varies by opportunity; some require an onsite orientation)
Position Type: Long-term Contracts (length varies by opportunity; extensions possible)
Compensation: Competitive market rates (based on experience, education, and credentials)

Opportunity 1: Inpatient CDI Specialist (Remote) 

What you’ll do

• Perform concurrent and/or retrospective inpatient CDI reviews in an acute-care setting
• Identify documentation gaps impacting the severity of illness, risk of mortality, quality metrics, and reimbursement
• Create compliant, non-leading provider queries aligned to industry standards
• Collaborate with coding and provider teams to support accurate diagnosis/procedure capture
• Meet established productivity and quality benchmarks

What we’re looking for 

• Active RN license with strong inpatient clinical experience (ED/ICU preferred)
• 2+ years of inpatient CDI experience in an acute-care environment is highly preferred
  • In lieu of prior CDI experience, those with extensive ED/ICU experience and a willingness to learn CDI, will be considered
• CDI certification (CDIP or CCDS) is highly preferred 
• Strong knowledge of MS-DRG methodology and ICD-10-CM/PCS
• Ability to work effectively in a secure home environment (when remote)

Opportunity 2: Inpatient CDI Team Lead (Remote with minimal onsite/travel)

What you’ll do

• Lead day-to-day inpatient CDI workflow execution and support metric analysis/reporting
• Perform inpatient chart reviews and identify provider education opportunities

• CDI leadership/mentoring and/or education experience
• CDI/coding credential(s): CDIP, CCDS, CCS, CCM (or similar)
• Strong communication and coordination skills in a remote model

Opportunity 3: Outpatient/Practice CDI Specialist (Onsite orientation then remote)

What you’ll do

• Review outpatient/practice documentation and identify opportunities to improve accuracy and clinical specificity
• Apply strong clinical judgment to support accurate condition capture (not relying solely on the query process)
• Collaborate with operational and clinical partners to improve documentation quality and consistency
• Complete any pre-interview questionnaire/assessment steps required for selection

What we’re looking for (Required)

• Epic experience (required)
• CDIP certification (required)
• Medically trained background with prior practice experience (examples: RN, MD/DO, or similar clinical training)
• Ability to make independent clinical determinations and clearly articulate rationale
• Will require onsite orientation before becoming fully remote
