What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values accuracy and compliance in medical coding, with opportunities for professional growth.

As a Certified Medical Coder with over 2 years of experience, I specialize in Emergency Department, Behavioral Health, and Critical Care coding. My proficiency in ICD-10-CM and CPT coding systems, combined with a strong understanding of medical terminology and anatomy, allows me to excel in ensuring accurate code assignment. I have consistently maintained a 95%+ accuracy rate while adhering to HIPAA and CMS regulations.

My experience includes working with EHR systems such as Epic and Cerner, as well as coding software like 3M. I am committed to continuous learning and uphold high standards in healthcare documentation and revenue cycle integrity. My previous role as an Administrative Assistant has equipped me with strong communication, attention to detail, and time management skills, which I apply to my coding work.
