At Baylor Scott Hospital, I coded inpatient cases, including trauma, and reviewed medical records to identify relevant diagnoses and procedures. I selected principal diagnoses and procedures using UHDDS definitions and ensured appropriate DRG assignment.
At ACS Solutions/Kaiser Hospital and Novant Health System, I coded inpatient and outpatient records across a range of services, including emergency room, observation, endoscopy, and radiology. I used Epic/360 with CAC and 3M Encoder, and at Novant Health System also used Meditech Bridge for abstracting.
Earlier in my career, I performed DRG validation at Advance Med Corporation and worked in medical records, outpatient coding, radiology coding, and billing. I hold RHIT, CCS, and CPC credentials.
