What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a remote medical coding role to apply CPT/ICD-10-CM/HCPCS expertise, ensure accuracy and confidentiality, work within a compliance-focused team, and continue professional development.

I am an AAPC-certified medical coder (CPC-A) with hands-on training in CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS Level II.

I completed an online medical coding program at Florida International University and have used AAPC Codify and Practicode to build strong code research and validation skills, focused on accurate documentation review and claims processing.

Prior roles as an owner-operator and title clerk taught me meticulous record-keeping, regulatory compliance, financial reporting, and process optimization—skills I apply to coding and billing workflows.

I am seeking remote coding opportunities where I can apply analytical rigor, protect confidentiality, contribute to a compliance-focused team, and continue professional development toward full CPC certification.
