We're building a new standard of care by providing comprehensive operational, administrative, and clinical support, enabling psychiatrists to focus on delivering effective, life changing treatments. Founded by industry leaders in mental health and healthcare technology, Big Leap Health is backed by top-tier investors and driven by a commitment to radically improving patient outcomes through innovative therapies. To keep pace with expansion, we're adding a Part Time Coding & Audit Contractor to our remote operations team Join us in pioneering the future of mental health. Job Summary We're looking for a detail oriented contractor to help keep our claims accurate and our documentation audit ready. The core of this role is auditing coded claims against clinical documentation and catching the patterns that create compliance risk, things like unsupported add on codes, E/M mismatches, and template errors. Early on, you'll also do some direct coding as our internal coding tool is validated; that work tapers over time as the tool matures and auditing becomes the primary focus. You'll also support an annual MIPS/QPP eligibility review across our provider portfolio. Over time, this role will also take on payer audits as they come in. This is a strong fit for someone who's as comfortable reviewing and correcting coded output as they are producing it, and who can flag a documentation pattern clearly enough that a provider can actually act on it. ## Key Responsibilities - Audit coded claims against underlying clinical documentation to identify unsupported codes, documentation gaps, and recurring errors. - Code claims directly, spending part of your time on direct coding work. - Flag documentation patterns, with enough specificity to support clinician facing compliance feedback. - Respond to payer audits as they come in, handling documentation requests and audit responses alongside our Head of RCM. - Support MIPS/QPP eligibility review for our provider portfolio. - Escalate unclear or exception cases rather than guessing. - Maintain accurate records of audit findings and coding activity using our tracking tools. ## Minimum Qualifications - Strong, recent hands on experience with medical or behavioral health coding and auditing. - Comfortable auditing and correcting coded claims. - Strong written communication, able to explain a documentation issue clearly enough for a provider to fix it. - Reliable, self directed, and comfortable working independently. - Willingness to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and comply with HIPAA requirements for handling protected health information (PHI). ## Preferred Qualifications - Certification (CPC) is a plus but not required if experience is strong. - Behavioral health/psych coding background, especially E/M and psychotherapy coding. - Prior audit and compliance based experience. Schedule & Compensation - Contract position, part-time, at 10 to 15 hours per week. - Flexible scheduling: contractor determines when and how work gets completed within weekly deliverables, with no set hours or shift requirement. - Remote, work from anywhere in the U.S. (reliable high speed internet required). - Competitive hourly rate, commensurate with experience. Why Join Us? - Work from anywhere in the U.S. - Flexible, part time schedule. - Direct exposure to behavioral health coding across a multi-state, multi-specialty provider portfolio. ## About Big Leap Health ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Big Leap Health enables interventional psychiatry clinics to treat more patients by managing insurance, scheduling, and patient access for TMS, Spravato, and ketamine therapies. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed VC) - **Headquarters**: New Castle, Delaware, United States - **Founded**: Not publicly available (likely around 2023–2024 based on funding date) - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Mental Health Care (Interventional Psychiatry) - **Target customers**: B2B – clinics and providers offering TMS, Spravato (esketamine), and ketamine treatments; B2C – patients seeking depression and anxiety care covered by insurance - **Mission or purpose**: Empower clinics that offer interventional psychiatry services to see more patients, expanding access to evidence-based mental health treatments. ## Products & Services - **Clinic Enablement Platform**: A technology and operational platform that helps interventional psychiatry clinics manage insurance billing, patient scheduling, and referrals, allowing them to scale their patient volume. - **Patient Access Services**: Direct-to-patient support including benefits navigation and payer enrollment, ensuring patients can access TMS, Spravato, and ketamine therapies with in-network insurance coverage. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding – Seed round closed in 2024 (exact amount not specified) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Tabula Rasa Ventures, Everywhere Ventures, Digital Health Venture Partners [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/big-leap-health) - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 1000% YoY (to 8 employees); active job postings (8 open roles as of mid-2025); monthly job posting growth of +100% [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/big-leap-health) ## Competitive Advantages - **Niche focus**: Specifically targets the underserved interventional psychiatry segment (TMS, Spravato, ketamine) rather than general mental health. - **Insurance integration**: Handles complex payer enrollment and benefits navigation, a major barrier for clinics and patients. - **Early mover**: Seed-stage company with strong investor backing (healthcare-focused VCs) and rapid hiring, suggesting product-market fit. ## Strategic Focus - Scaling the platform to more clinics across the United States. - Building out the engineering and product team (currently hiring a Full-Stack Engineer and Chief of Staff). - Expanding payer network and specialty benefits navigation capabilities. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Fast-growing startup (8 employees, 1000% YoY headcount growth) with a mission to improve access to advanced depression/anxiety treatments. - **Remote/hybrid/office**: Some roles (e.g., Spravato & TMS Psychiatrist) are in New York; other roles (e.g., Senior Specialty Benefits Navigator) list New York City.
