Health Information Management professional at Guidehouse, abstracting and validating oncology cases using STORE, SEER, and ICD coding standards.

United States

Message

At Guidehouse, I abstract and validate oncology cases, entering diagnostic, demographic, and staging data into cancer registry systems. I review records across EPIC, Cerner, and OnBase and apply STORE, SEER, ICD-O, ICD-10-CM, and AJCC TNM standards.

At CVS/Caremark Medicare Clinical Operations, I processed prior authorization and drug benefit exception requests, researched patient and medication information, and documented case details. I resolved processing discrepancies and escalated complex appeals or clinical questions.

Earlier, at Princeton Baptist Medical Center, I analyzed medical records, processed Release of Information requests, and supported chart completion and data integrity. My experience also includes clinical documentation review, benefits and disability records, and healthcare compliance.
