What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and efficiency in healthcare billing and coding.

With over 20 years of experience as a Certified Professional Coder and Billing Specialist, I have honed my skills in coding and billing processes across various healthcare settings. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of ICD10 and CPT coding requirements, as well as CMS regulations and payer policies. I thrive in environments where I can utilize my strong communication and organizational skills to lead teams and improve departmental efficiencies.

Currently, I serve as a Coding Payment Resolution Specialist at Trinity Health Hospital, where I review medical records and update claims to resolve coding-related denials. My previous roles have included Billing and Coding Specialist at Grand Rapids OBGYN and Billing and Reimbursement Coordinator at the University of Michigan Health Hospital, where I managed cash operations and trained providers on coding and the Epic EMR system. I am passionate about ensuring accuracy in coding and billing, and I take pride in my ability to negotiate effectively and work independently.
