About this role

From the Mercor listing

About the Role

We're looking for professionals with deep, hands-on experience in the administrative and operational work that keeps healthcare organizations running — the "back office" of a medical practice, hospital, or health plan. You'll design realistic, complex scenarios from your own practice area, build the supporting records, then author and evaluate healthcare-operations tasks used to train AI agents. This is authoring and judgment work, not throughput.

Priority Areas — we are hiring hardest here

  • Medical Coding: inpatient, outpatient and pro-fee coding, risk adjustment / HCC coding, coding audit

  • Prior Authorization & Utilization: initiating, submitting and tracking authorizations through payer portals; utilization review and management

  • Revenue Cycle Operations: denials and appeals, A/R follow-up, payment and revenue integrity, underpayment recovery, coordination of benefits and secondary billing

Also In Scope

  • Claims & billing, and full-cycle medical billing

  • Regulatory & compliance, HIPAA privacy, healthcare internal audit

  • Payer-side operations: claims adjudication, appeals & grievances, benefit configuration, provider network, utilization management

  • Coding audit, Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI), DRG validation, Health Information Management

  • Revenue integrity, charge master (CDM), managed care and reimbursement analysis

  • Practice, clinic and hospital administration; Director/VP of Revenue Cycle

Requirements

  • 2+ years of hands-on, recent experience in a healthcare administrative / back-office role, and currently working in one

  • Direct experience with the systems this work runs on — payer portals (Availity, Optum/Change Healthcare, Waystar, Office Ally, or individual payer hubs), EHR / practice-management platforms, encoders and computer-assisted coding tools, and/or clearinghouses

  • A 10+ hrs/week commitment

What Makes a Strong Candidate

We are looking for people who can construct a complicated problem, not people who process volume. The strongest signals are evidence of owning exceptions and disputes: owning an appeal or payer dispute end to end, running coding or DRG audits, defending a code assignment through appeal, leading an EHR conversion or payer implementation, writing SOPs or payer-specific workflow documentation, supervising staff, or sitting on a denials or audit committee. Within any competency we prefer the senior end, and experience across two or more care settings — or on both the provider and payer side — is a strong plus.

Settings

Not hospitals only. Also physician groups and ambulatory practices, ambulatory surgery centers, skilled nursing and long-term care, home health and hospice, behavioral health, dialysis, infusion and specialty pharmacy, retail pharmacy and PBM prior authorization, DME suppliers, FQHCs, IDD and waiver services, health plans and TPAs, and RCM outsourcers and clearinghouses.

Location

The United States is our primary market. We are also open to candidates in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, continental Europe, Australia and New Zealand. If you are outside the US, you are expected to work in your own country's insurance, funding or billing system — US payer knowledge is a plus, never a requirement.

Not In Scope

Clinical care roles (RN, LPN, NP, PA, physician, pharmacist), EMTs and paramedics, medical technicians of any kind (laboratory, radiology, surgical, pharmacy, sterile processing, respiratory, phlebotomy), reception and front-desk check-in, patient registration, appointment scheduling and appointment management at any level, call-centre script-following, medical scribes, and transcription-only roles.

How long hiring takes

Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.

Common questions

Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?

No, applying and joining Mercor is free. Mercor's revenue comes from a fee it charges the client on top of your hourly rate, not from applicants. Treat any request for payment to join as a red flag.

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

What does task-based AI training work look like?

Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.

What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?

No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.

What does Healthcare work look like for a Non-Physician Admin (CL Funnel)?

Tasks here are scoped to Healthcare, not generic labeling. As a Non-Physician Admin (CL Funnel), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Healthcare) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Healthcare background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Coding and Expert are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.

How much does this specific role pay?

This listing is posted at $50–$65/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

Can I apply from outside Australia, Canada, Europe and 4 other countries?

This specific role is open only to people based in Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Ireland. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
