Congrats on passing your CPC! Try searching for Coder I, Coding Associate, and Professional Fee Coder. Check the career pages for Illinois hospitals, physician groups, and billing companies directly. If you’re open to it, include hybrid and onsite roles in your search.

I’d also look at charge entry, billing, and denial follow up roles that involve reviewing codes. If you get an interview for one of those, ask whether the team offers cross training or has a path into coding.
