What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and offers opportunities for professional growth in medical coding and healthcare management.

I am a highly efficient medical coder with over eleven years of experience in accurately coding outpatient medical records. My proficiency in ICD-10-CM and CPT coding systems has allowed me to maintain high accuracy rates while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. I am dedicated to optimizing reimbursement for healthcare facilities by leveraging my expertise in medical coding.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, including as a Medical Coder Team Lead in the Radiology Department, where I supervised associates and monitored performance metrics. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my ability to identify areas for enhancement in medical documentation and coding practices. I stay updated on current coding guidelines and trends, ensuring that I meet and exceed established quality standards.

In addition to my coding expertise, I have a strong background in nursing, having worked as a Labor and Delivery RN and Charge Nurse in various healthcare settings. This diverse experience has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of patient care and the importance of accurate medical documentation. I am passionate about contributing to a healthcare facility that values precision and quality in patient care.
