Scott Naismith

I am an experienced, resourceful medical coder with demonstrated proficiency across surgical, clinical, inpatient, and MRI settings. I excel at independent and team-based work, applying strong attention to detail and critical-thinking problem solving to accurate code assignment and clean claims.

My background includes multi-year coding roles supporting orthopedic practices, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital settings, where I read operative notes, assign diagnosis and procedure codes, add modifiers, pre-code for authorizations, and write appeals. I have experience reducing lag on unbilled encounters and maintaining high-volume clinic coding for large provider groups.

I bring technical skills in anatomy/physiology, medical terminology, patient-level auditing, and technical appeal writing, and I am experienced with EHR systems including Epic, NextGen, and Amkai. I consistently focus on accuracy, timely throughput, and clear communication with providers and schedulers to resolve documentation gaps and claim denials.
