What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hospital-based coding roles where I can apply CCS/CCS-P expertise, improve coding accuracy, mentor staff, and support revenue integrity.

I am a Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) and CCS-P with extensive experience in facility and professional-fee outpatient coding across specialties including emergency medicine, anesthesia, orthopedics, OB/GYN, dermatology, and radiology. I have coded for hospitals, rural health clinics, and multiple remote coding vendors using major EHRs and encoder tools.

Throughout my career I have led coding teams as an HIM Coding Supervisor, audited records for coding accuracy, assisted with EHR implementation and SNOMED mapping, and handled complex charge entry and procedure coding (ICD-10, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, HCPCS). I specialize in ED (facility and professional-fee) coding, infusion/injection coding, same-day surgery, and anesthesia coding for multi-physician practices.

I bring a strong focus on accuracy, revenue integrity, and process improvement, with proficiency in Cerner, Epic, Allscripts, RPMS/Vista, Athena and encoders such as 3M/3M 360 and Optum 360. I am committed to reliable remote coding support and mentoring coding staff to meet organizational needs.
