Nathesa West

I am a certified professional coder with over seven years of focused experience in outpatient and oncology coding, including hematology/oncology and radiation oncology. I consistently apply CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS guidelines to ensure accurate, compliant claims and authorization processes.

At Montefiore Medical Center I process complex coding for infusion, transplant, and radiation services using Aria and Epic, coordinate authorizations with payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare and Aetna, and assist in training new coders. I also managed library circulation operations and served as a unit secretary earlier in my career, which strengthened my administrative, communication, and HIPAA-compliant record-handling skills.

I hold CPC and CHONC certifications from AAPC and a bachelor’s degree in Public Health; I am seeking a role where I can contribute my coding expertise and continue expanding my oncology coding knowledge while supporting accurate reimbursement and patient care workflows.
