ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) Specialist supports accurate, complete, and clinically specific provider documentation across the myPlace Health participant population. This clinically credentialed role partners with providers, interdisciplinary care teams, and risk adjustment stakeholders to ensure documentation reflects each participant’s clinical complexity, disease burden, severity of illness, and care needs.
Operating within the PACE model, the CDI Specialist conducts clinically supported chart reviews, identifies documentation opportunities, and collaborates with physicians, nurse practitioners, and care teams to support compliant CMS-HCC capture and sustainable documentation improvement.
Responsibilities:
- Conduct prospective, concurrent, and retrospective reviews of medical records to identify documentation gaps, unsupported diagnoses, missed HCC opportunities, and clinically present conditions requiring provider assessment or clarification.
- Apply clinical reasoning to synthesize information across EMR documentation, laboratory results, imaging reports, medications, specialist notes, and outside records to support accurate and clinically specific documentation.
- Review longitudinal chart trends to identify disease progression, chronic condition indicators, and opportunities to improve documentation of participant complexity and severity of illness.
- Formulate compliant verbal and written provider queries that present clinical evidence objectively and support provider clarification without directing clinical conclusions.
- Partner directly with physicians, nurse practitioners, and clinical teams through chart-side discussion, consultation, and structured education to improve documentation quality and compliant CMS-HCC capture.
- Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings and clinical workflows to surface documentation opportunities in real time and support accurate reflection of participant care needs.
- Prioritize and manage daily chart review workflows based on risk stratification, HCC capture opportunities, documentation trends, and organizational priorities.
- Track provider documentation patterns, query outcomes, capture rates, and review activity using CDI tracking tools and reporting systems to support program monitoring and audit readiness.
- Develop and support provider-facing education, CDI resources, query templates, workflow guides, and performance reports aligned with CMS documentation standards and organizational policy.
- Conduct documentation quality reviews and escalate documentation deficiencies, unsupported diagnoses, condition validation concerns, compliance risks, and systemic trends to CDI program leadership.
- We seek Rebels who are curious about AI and its power to transform how we operate and serve our members.
- All other duties as assigned.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:
- Active, unrestricted RN or NP license in the state of California.
- Minimum of three years of clinical experience in an outpatient, primary care, ambulatory care, or comparable clinical setting.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly and collaboratively with physicians, nurse practitioners, and clinical care teams.

- Ability to work independently, manage a structured chart review workload, and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced clinical environment.
- Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, clinical judgment, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience in clinical documentation integrity, risk adjustment, HCC coding, or documentation improvement, preferably in an outpatient, primary care, ambulatory care, or value-based care setting.
- Familiarity with Medicare Advantage, PACE, capitated care, or other value-based care models.
- CRC, CDEO, CCDS-O, CDIP, or comparable documentation/risk adjustment certification preferred; candidates without certification must demonstrate commitment to obtain certification within 12 months of hire.
- Experience using CDI software platforms, risk adjustment analytics tools, reporting dashboards, or related documentation tracking systems.
- Experience providing clinical provider education, including one-on-one coaching, chart-based feedback, and group education.
- Preferred Bilingual Spanish a plus!

Mid Level Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level clinical documentation integrity specialist job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just task completion. Highlight cases where you led query resolution independently, improved physician response rates, or identified documentation gaps that affected coding accuracy or reimbursement. Certifications like CDIP or CCDS carry real weight at this stage. Applications that show measurable impact on case mix index or query agreement rates consistently outperform those that only list responsibilities.
Which companies hire mid level clinical documentation integrity specialists?
Companies hiring mid level clinical documentation integrity specialists right now include Jobot, Erlanger, and Trinity Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes primarily from health systems, acute care hospitals, and revenue cycle management firms that need specialists who can work independently on complex cases and support less experienced team members.
Are there remote mid level clinical documentation integrity specialist jobs?
Yes, remote work is well established in this field. About 33% of mid level clinical documentation integrity specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how thoroughly CDI work has shifted to electronic health record environments. Remote roles typically require demonstrated proficiency with EHR platforms and a history of meeting query productivity benchmarks without on-site supervision.
How do I move up to a mid level clinical documentation integrity specialist role?
Moving into mid level comes from building a consistent record of independent query management, expanding your clinical knowledge across multiple service lines, and demonstrating that your work influences coding accuracy and reimbursement outcomes. Earning a recognized certification such as CDIP or CCDS signals readiness for deeper responsibility. Specialists who can point to measurable improvement in documentation quality tend to advance faster than those who complete tasks without connecting them to outcomes.
Which industries hire the most mid level clinical documentation integrity specialists?
Mid Level clinical documentation integrity specialist roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Insurance, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at the mid level because complex patient populations, high case volumes, and regulatory scrutiny around diagnosis coding create sustained demand for specialists who can work through difficult queries with clinical and coding depth.
