What I'm looking for

I seek a role that offers growth opportunities and values accuracy in coding.

I am a Certified Medical Coder (CPC) with two years of experience in the field, specializing in accurately assigning medical codes and ensuring compliance with coding guidelines. My journey began after earning my Bachelor of Pharmacy in 2022, and I have since honed my skills at Optum Health and Technology, as well as VLMS Global Healthcare. I take pride in my ability to maintain a 98% accuracy rate in daily claims processing, which demonstrates my commitment to excellence.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in ICD10CM, HCC coding, and medical terminology. My role as an auditor has further enhanced my expertise in reviewing patient records and identifying discrepancies, ensuring that all coding is precise and compliant with industry standards. I am well-versed in the use of Computer-Assisted Coding (CAC) tools and have a solid understanding of Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance regulations, which allows me to navigate complex coding scenarios effectively.
