What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my coding expertise while contributing to quality improvement in healthcare documentation and compliance.

I am a dedicated Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist with extensive experience in medical coding and documentation. My career spans over a decade, during which I have honed my skills in analyzing medical records to ensure accuracy and compliance with coding guidelines. At Devoted Health, I serve as a subject matter expert, providing education to healthcare providers on the importance of precise clinical documentation. My commitment to improving documentation practices has led to significant enhancements in risk adjustment outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various healthcare organizations, including Advantasure and Signify Health, where I focused on optimizing ICD-10-CM coding for risk adjustment. My ability to collaborate with operational teams and leadership has been instrumental in driving process improvements. I am passionate about maintaining current knowledge of coding regulations and continuously seek opportunities for professional development to stay ahead in this ever-evolving field.
