What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level medical coding position where I can apply ICD-10/CPT expertise, contribute to documentation integrity, and continue toward full CPC credentialing.

I am a Certified Professional Coder – Apprentice (CPC-A) with structured, hands-on training and over 500 hours of medical coding and data extraction practice through CareerStep's Medical Coding and Billing program.

I apply ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS Level II coding across inpatient, outpatient, and physician practice scenarios, and have practical experience with DRG assignment, risk adjustment, and medical necessity validation.

I am proficient with a 3M encoder and Microsoft Office, and I prioritize accuracy, analytical thinking, and documentation integrity to ensure compliant, high-quality code assignment.

I am seeking an entry-level medical coding role where I can contribute my coding skills, continue professional development toward full CPC credentialing, and support quality assurance and revenue integrity efforts.
