What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a progressive healthcare organization (preferably Dubai) where I can lead coding quality, coach teams, reduce denials, and improve compliance.

I am a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) with over 10 years of experience in the US healthcare industry, specializing in Emergency Department facility coding, auditing, and quality assurance. I consistently ensure compliance with ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS standards while meeting strict TAT and SLA expectations.

In my current role as a Senior Medical Coding Quality Auditor, I delivered weekly performance coaching that improved coder quality scores by 15% and maintained 100% adherence to turnaround time and accuracy standards. I led new-hire floor training, system onboarding, and served as a reliable backup during high-volume periods to keep operations seamless.

I have hands-on experience with coding and EHR systems including 3M, Athena Health, Epic, Meditech, and Med Az, and I use report generation and error analysis to identify training needs, reduce rejections, and support denial management. Earlier roles strengthened my expertise in claim submission, payment posting, and clearinghouse rejection reduction.

I am seeking to bring my audit-driven, process-improvement approach to a progressive healthcare organization in Dubai, where I can continue to coach teams, enhance coding accuracy, and drive measurable quality improvements.
