What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote risk adjustment and coding work where I can deliver accurate HCC/RADV results, maintain strong coding accuracy, and support CMS/HIPAA-compliant documentation and auditing across multiple specialties.

I’m a detail-oriented Risk Adjustment Coder and Auditor with over 9 years of experience specializing in Medicaid and Medicare coding, HCC coding, RADV audits, and outpatient/ED encounter review.

Across Primary Care, Cardiology, Oncology, Nephrology, OB-GYN, and surgical services, I accurately analyze and code complex medical records to ensure full compliance with CMS guidelines and regulatory standards.

I bring proven expertise in HCC risk adjustment methodologies for reimbursement, including accurate HCC capture for outpatient and emergency department encounters and coding for Medicare Advantage populations using ICD-10-CM guidelines.

In remote roles at Optum (United Health Group), Wellerhit, GDIT, Agilon Health, Apixio (Comforce Health), Maxim Health Care, and Inovalon NY, I support high-quality results through strong knowledge of ICD-10-CM, CPT-4, HCPCS Level II, DRGs, CMS/ HIPAA requirements, and tools like 3M CodeFinder—maintaining accuracy standards (e.g., 95%) and continuously reducing coding errors.
