What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a growing organization that values my coding expertise and offers opportunities for professional development.

I am a highly efficient and self-motivated coder with over seven years of experience in anesthesia coding. My journey in the medical coding field has equipped me with a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in coding for anesthesiologists and CRNAs. I have consistently demonstrated my ability to code approximately 200 cases daily, ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry standards.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Medical Coder, Process Specialist, and Team Leader, where I have honed my skills in ICD-10 coding, CPT coding, and E&M coding. My experience spans across multiple organizations, where I have successfully managed coding processes, conducted audits, and liaised with insurance companies to ensure timely reimbursements. I am passionate about contributing to a dynamic workplace that values growth and excellence.
