What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and allows me to leverage my skills in medical billing and coding to enhance revenue cycle efficiency.

I am a certified Medical Billing and Coding Specialist with over 2 years of experience in outpatient settings. My expertise lies in maximizing cash flow, reducing claim denials, and ensuring compliance with coding standards. I have a proven track record of leveraging eClinicalWorks and industry-standard coding systems such as CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM to deliver accurate and timely billing.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for enhancing revenue-cycle efficiency and training multidisciplinary teams on regulatory changes. At Noala Solutions Limited, I successfully coded over 50 patient charts daily and recommended process improvements that resulted in over ₦120M in additional revenue. My commitment to accuracy and compliance has significantly reduced claim rejection rates, showcasing my ability to drive results in the medical billing field.
