Oncology medical coder who ensures precise ICD-10/CPT billing and reliable claims.
What I'm looking for
I’m an oncology-focused medical coder and billing professional who helps clinics and hospitals run efficiently through accurate ICD-10 and CPT coding. I bring a thorough understanding of medical terminology, anatomy, and chemotherapy, and I’m committed to getting claims right the first time.
In my current role as Oncology Coder/Team Lead at Triarq Health (2020–Present), I handle chemotherapy IV infusion coding and support high-quality billing workflows through weekly audits and manual charge entries. I also assist offshore billing teams and train them on new billing protocols for carriers, including updates such as new J codes and drug indications.
Previously, as a Certified Coding Specialist at IHA (2019–2020), I coded hematology/oncology and neurology inpatient and outpatient services and worked with relevant tests and studies. I’m familiar with technology including NextGen, Aria, and Epic, and I ensure coding reflects appropriate service levels.
Earlier, I worked as a Biller/Coder at the Michigan Institute of Hematology and Oncology (2010–2019), where I supported chemotherapy billing and coding, insurance verification, and claim follow-up. I also perform charge review, claim submission, payment posting, and patient statements, using tools like NDC billing and JW modifiers to meet payer requirements.
