Experienced outpatient coder with 15 years in accurate, compliant coding and high-quality production standards.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an experienced outpatient coder with 15 years’ experience in all facets of outpatient coding. I ensure coded outpatient charts are accurate and properly assigned—from ED accounts to outpatient surgery and wound center charts—while maintaining 95% quality and required production standards.
I’m strong in privacy and compliance, and I work with electronic health records and health information systems/applications including EPIC, Optum CAC, Cerner, and 3M. I review National Coverage Determination, Local Coverage Determination, and Correct Coding Initiative edits to apply changes and modifiers appropriately, and I’ve supported the implementation of EDM/T Systems and served as a test coder for going remote via a portal, contributing to the CDIS committee and Lean events.
I’ve continued delivering results across multiple settings, including assisting an ED coding backlog with Optum and Cerner, and supporting outpatient accounts (including same day surgery, wound centers, and ancillary accounts) with outstanding production and quality. I hold an AAS in Health Information Technology, an RHIT (active), and I’m ICD-10 certified.
