What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in medical coding, with opportunities for professional development and a supportive team environment.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Certified Professional Coder (CPC-A) with a strong foundation in medical coding, having recently completed a comprehensive medical coding course and successfully passing the CPC exam. My passion for healthcare and coding drives me to ensure accuracy and compliance in medical billing processes.

Currently, I am gaining practical experience through an internship at a Mental Health Agency, where I apply my classroom knowledge to real-life billing and coding cases. My responsibilities include working on claim denials, appeals, and ensuring that all coding adheres to the appropriate guidelines. I take pride in my ability to research errors and verify documentation, which is crucial for accurate coding and billing.

In addition to my coding expertise, I have developed strong organizational skills and effective communication abilities through my experience as a bus driver for Dekalb County School Systems. This role has honed my attention to detail and reinforced my commitment to safety and reliability. I am excited to bring my skills and enthusiasm to a new opportunity in medical coding.
