Remote Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Specialist Jobs

CDI specialists review inpatient charts in real time, query physicians for documentation that captures the full severity of illness, and ensure DRG-accurate coding. Most CDI roles are remote, with a steady weekday schedule and salaries between $90K and $125K. CCDS or CDIP certification is preferred but rarely required for entry.

Frequently asked

What experience do I need to break into CDI?+

Two to three years of acute-care RN experience is the floor — usually med-surg, ICU, or cardiology. Coding certifications (CCDS, CDIP, CCS) help but rarely block entry.

Do I need to know ICD-10 coding?+

Working familiarity, not coder-level depth. Most CDI programs train on their proprietary query templates and DRG impact tools.

Is CDI fully remote?+

Most hospital CDI is hybrid (1-2 days onsite for chart-review huddles); consulting CDI (Optum, Nuance/Microsoft, Iodine) is fully remote.
