I've supported Mayo Clinic's surgical and specialty coding operations since 2007, coding and reviewing claims across Ophthalmology, Urology, ENT, Gynecology, Emergency Department, Observation, ancillary, professional fee, facility, surgical clinic, and E&M services.
I resolve claim edits, prior authorizations, payer rejections, and reimbursement issues to support timely processing. I also collaborate with physicians and clinical staff on coding, documentation, and compliance, and serve on the Professional Billing Query Team developing and approving provider query templates in Epic.
As an RHIT and CRCR-certified coding professional with more than 18 years of experience, I mentor coders, provide specialty representation for Ophthalmology, and bring experience with coding audits, DRG validation, revenue cycle operations, and documentation improvement.
