Health Information Management Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery needs credentialed HIM professionals to build the health data governance material that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. Your work centers on release of information, privacy, and record integrity scenarios, plus the reference answers that explain the regulatory reasoning behind each call. You also review what a model produces and catch guidance that sounds right but would breach privacy rules or damage the record. The engagement runs 10 hours per week, remote and async, with hourly pay from $70 to $95 sent through Stripe.
What You'll Do5
- 1Write realistic HIM scenarios that test privacy, release of information, and record integrity judgment.
- 2Draft reference answers that lay out the regulatory reasoning behind each decision.
- 3Score model output on regulatory accuracy and the risk of improper disclosure.
- 4Flag guidance that reads as correct but would breach privacy or corrupt the record.
- 5Document policy and compliance reasoning in clear, precise written English.
Requirements8
- 1RHIA or RHIT credential from AHIMA, current and in good standing.
- 22+ years of HIM experience inside a provider, payer, or health IT setting.
- 3Depth in release of information, privacy, record integrity, or data governance.
- 4Clear written English for documenting policy and compliance reasoning.
- 5Capacity to commit at least 10 hours per week.
- 6HIPAA privacy or security officer background (preferred).
- 7EHR implementation, data migration, or registry work (preferred).
- 8CDIP, CHPS, or CHDA specialty credential (preferred).
Who Should Apply
The role suits a credentialed HIM professional who has spent at least two years inside a provider, payer, or health IT setting and can explain privacy and disclosure decisions from the regulation up. Candidates holding an active RHIA or RHIT with hands-on work in release of information or data governance line up best. Specialty credentials such as CDIP, CHPS, or CHDA give an edge, as does experience serving as a HIPAA privacy or security officer. Skip this if your credential has lapsed or sits inactive, because AHIMA standing gets checked during screening. Applicants also lose points when they describe privacy work in broad strokes without naming the specific rule, statute, or disclosure category that drove the decision.
Salary Insight
Pay runs $70 to $95 per hour, billed by the hour and sent through Stripe. That band sits near the top of contract HIM and privacy rates and tends to match professionals with an active AHIMA credential plus a few years of release of information or governance work. At 10 hours per week, weekly earnings start near $700 and grow with the hours you choose to take on.

Application Tip
Lead with your AHIMA credential by naming RHIA or RHIT status and your credential number, then give one or two examples of privacy or release of information decisions you handled and the rule that shaped each call. If you hold CDIP, CHPS, or CHDA, or you served as a HIPAA privacy or security officer, place that near the top of your materials. State weekly availability of 10 hours or more so the scheduling check clears on the first pass.
