United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Certified Coding Professional with extensive experience in outpatient medical coding and a strong background in customer service and administrative roles. My journey in the healthcare industry has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel in coding, ensuring accuracy and compliance with regulatory standards. I have consistently maintained an accuracy rate of 95% or higher in my coding practices, demonstrating my commitment to quality and precision.

My specialties encompass a wide range of areas, including pediatrics, oncology, and emergency department services. I am also proficient in using advanced coding software and electronic medical records systems, which enhances my efficiency and effectiveness in coding tasks.
In addition to my technical skills, I pride myself on my ability to provide excellent customer service, as demonstrated in my previous roles at Starbucks and Great Clips. I believe that a positive customer experience is essential in any industry, and I strive to bring that same level of dedication to my work in medical coding. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a dynamic healthcare team that values accuracy and patient care.
