What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Medical Coding role where I can ensure accurate ICD-10/CPT coding, handle denials effectively, and support revenue cycle compliance with Medicare and NCCI edits—while maintaining quality, accuracy, and timely claims submission.

I’m a detail-oriented Medical Coder with 3 years of experience reviewing clinical documentation and assigning accurate ICD-10 and CPT codes. I focus on accuracy, quality, and timely submission of claims while ensuring compliance with coding guidelines.

I’ve worked across the full RCM workflow, from patient registration through final collections, including insurance eligibility & verification. I handle denials through root cause analysis, preparing appeals, and recovering revenue, while working with payer guidelines like Medicare and NCCI edits.

My experience also includes pre-authorization & approvals through portals such as Shafafiya, eClaimLink, and Riayati, plus specialty coding for Dental, Physiotherapy, Gynecology, and Pediatrics. I code injections and infusions accurately (including hydration therapy and modifier application) and consistently support payer-specific rules to maximize reimbursement.
