@courtneyblaney
I audit healthcare records and billing to improve coding accuracy, compliance, and revenue cycle outcomes.
What I'm looking for
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, I review VistA and CPRS health records against FMS billing data, validate diagnosis and procedure codes, and resolve accounts receivable discrepancies before bills are submitted. My presubmission audits have helped reduce bill rejections while supporting federal debt collection timelines.
I bring healthcare coding, records auditing, and revenue-cycle experience from VA financial accounts work and outpatient coding. I’ve coded 75+ outpatient encounters daily with a 98% accuracy rate and work carefully within HIPAA, Privacy Act, VA, and federal billing requirements.
