Certified outpatient coding specialist with 20+ years ensuring coding accuracy and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a certified coding specialist with over 20 years of focused experience in outpatient facility coding, proficient in ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS and PCS. I consistently maintain high accuracy standards—90% or greater—and apply rigorous auditing practices to optimize coding quality.
My background includes hands-on coding across endoscopy, same-day surgery, cardiac cath, ED, infusion and chemotherapy services, and extensive experience with Epic, Cerner, 3M/3M360, Gebbs and computer-assisted coding tools. I regularly attend coding clinic updates and education sessions to stay current with guidelines.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering and other organizations I conducted monthly audits, performed educational reviews for staff below accuracy standards, and developed targeted educational materials to address common coding errors. I also managed daily messaging to ensure documentation completeness from clinical teams.
I collaborate well with interdisciplinary teams to resolve discrepancies and support compliance initiatives, and I bring a detail-oriented, process-improvement mindset to every role.
