What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to expand into CPT and procedure coding in an outpatient setting.

At Optum, I reviewed inpatient and outpatient records for HCC risk adjustment across Elevance Health, Centene, and Optum programs. I assigned ICD-10-CM codes and verified that each was supported by clinical documentation and coding guidelines.

I raised queries when documentation was unclear or conflicting, applied audit feedback, and met monthly accuracy and productivity targets. I’m CPC-certified, with certification-level knowledge of CPT, HCPCS, and modifiers, and I’m seeking to expand into CPT and procedure coding in an outpatient setting.
