Medical Coder with 9 months ICD-10-CM experience, delivering 98% accuracy through clinical documentation review.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Medical Coder with 9 months of hands-on ICD-10-CM coding experience and a 98% coding accuracy rate at Pro1 Health Systems, Thanjavur.
I review and abstract 30–40 patient medical records daily, applying ICD-10-CM coding guidelines across outpatient encounters while maintaining consistently high accuracy. I reduce coding-related claim rejections by identifying recurring documentation gaps and implementing corrective coding patterns that improve first-pass claim acceptance.
I collaborate daily with QA to resolve coding edits, address documentation deficiencies, and close gaps between physician documentation and compliant ICD-10-CM code assignment. I also conduct weekly self-audits to proactively catch errors before QA review, and I maintain 100% compliance with ICD-10-CM official guidelines and payer-specific coding policies with zero compliance violations recorded.
My M.Sc. Biochemistry background strengthens how I interpret complex physician documentation—especially metabolic, endocrine, and systemic disorders—using clinical terminology, pathophysiology, and diagnostic lab concepts. I bring disciplined documentation skills from my laboratory internship and research work, supporting faster, more accurate coding decisions.
