ELIE IYSA

I’m a Certified Medical Coder with 8+ years of progressive experience in inpatient DRG coding, outpatient/professional fee coding, and CDI auditing in U.S. hospital systems and remote coding vendor environments.

I consistently deliver 95–98% coding accuracy while meeting productivity and quality benchmarks in high-volume settings. My work focuses on compliant coding outcomes—ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, HCPCS, MS-DRG/APR-DRG assignment, and CDI validation.

In my CDI Retrospective Auditor / Inpatient Coding Validator role, I audit principal and secondary diagnoses, procedures, MCC/CC capture, SOI/ROM, and POA indicators to finalize inpatient records for accurate reimbursement and audit readiness. I apply AHA Coding Clinic guidance, CMS updates, and payer policies, and I collaborate with CDI teams to strengthen documentation integrity and support appeals.

I’m highly proficient in Epic, Cerner, Meditech, eClinicalWorks, and 3M encoder tools, with strong command of UHDDS compliance, HIPAA, and hands-on risk adjustment (HCC) coding. I’m seeking remote or on-site medical coding roles across inpatient, outpatient, and audit functions.
