$50-$120/hr healthcare operations work, on your schedule
Review AI-drafted denials, prior auths, and utilization decisions, flagging what a flowchart misses: the upcode, the unsupported diagnosis, the wrongful denial. Remote, a few hours a week, paid hourly on your schedule.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need a CDI specialist's eye on a medical record review spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Healthcare Ops questions

Narrow specialization is exactly what makes your input valuable. Models trained on generic content fail on denial management, ICD-10-CM edge cases, and prior auth criteria, so reviewers with deep RCM or UR experience catch what generalists miss. The more specific your expertise, the harder you are to replace.
Yes. Quality frameworks like PDSA cycles, FMEA, and Joint Commission readiness are active areas where AI output is tested, and CPHQ or CPHRM holders bring the standards-grounded perspective those tasks need. You may also be matched to patient safety event review or accreditation work, where your credential applies directly.
No. All materials are synthetic, de-identified, or hypothetical scenarios built to reflect realistic operations without containing actual PHI. The work carries no HIPAA covered-entity obligation on your end, and you will never access or handle data from a live health system or EHR.
Tasks commonly include evaluating AI-drafted staffing analyses, reviewing capacity planning against methods like variance reporting, assessing discharge workflows, and writing worked examples of how an experienced operator handles throughput bottlenecks or CMS CoP compliance. You are matched to task types that fit your stated background during onboarding.
It can. Some task sets evaluate AI analyses tied to how a platform models capacity, cost, or scheduling, and reviewers who know those systems spot logic errors a platform-agnostic reviewer would not. Note your tool experience during onboarding and it routes you toward relevant work when available.
Why your expertise matters
A model confuses charge capture rules, misapplies CMS Conditions of Participation, or misreads a staffing matrix, and the output looks fine to a generalist but fails a Joint Commission survey or draws a RAC audit. Catching that takes someone who has run revenue cycle, bed management, or supply chain across real facilities. Your corrections are the signal.
How pay works
Pay scales with seniority and specificity. Director-level revenue cycle, LTACH or SNF operations, or deep CMS CoP and value-based care knowledge commands the top of the band. All work is remote, logged hourly, and paid only after Terac verifies completion. No invoicing, no net-30.
What the work looks like
A sample of the healthcare operations work you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Review an AI-drafted 72-hour discharge planning workflow and flag steps that conflict with CMS CoP requirements under 42 CFR 482.43.
- Evaluate a model's staffing matrix for a 30-bed med-surg unit and mark where the ratios, float pool assumptions, or overtime triggers are unrealistic or non-compliant.
- Write a worked example of escalating a bed request denial through your house supervisor chain, with the criteria and documentation at each step.
- Annotate an AI-drafted prior authorization appeal, correcting necessity language that would not meet InterQual or MCG criteria in practice.
- Compare two machine-written RCA templates for a Never Event and explain which framework better fits AHRQ patient safety standards.
- Rate a model's advice on adding a service line under existing CON regulations in a certificate-of-need state, and explain the gaps.
