I review inpatient records and assign accurate medical codes using clinical nursing experience.
What I'm looking for
I've transitioned from more than 10 years of clinical nursing across inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgical, oncology, and maternal healthcare into medical coding. As a CCS-certified coder, I bring firsthand understanding of hospital documentation, disease processes, treatment procedures, anatomy, and medical terminology.
During my Medical Coding Internship at JVDYA Healthcare, I reviewed inpatient records, assigned ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, and HCPCS codes, and supported DRG assignment through documentation analysis. I apply coding guidelines, sequencing conventions, provider-query processes, and HIPAA requirements to help maintain accurate records.
I'm seeking an HCC Medical Coder opportunity where I can combine clinical experience with risk adjustment, medical record review, and accurate coding.
