Wykena Hodges

I'm currently improving risk adjustment and quality documentation at Trinity Health, where I audit inpatient records, validate ICD-10 diagnoses and DRG assignments, and train providers on coding requirements. Across 13 years in medical coding, auditing, and compliance, I've helped reduce documentation errors to less than 5% and decreased denials by 70% through provider education.

I've also strengthened outpatient audit readiness at Performant Health Solution, supported Medicaid compliance at GHR Consultants, optimized HCC coding at Optum Healthcare, and identified revenue cycle opportunities at Salinas Hospital. I use coding trend analysis, internal audits, workflow improvements, and clear documentation guidance to improve clean claims, reimbursement, and productivity.
