Work Experience

CPC Certified Professional Coder, CPMA Certified Professional Medical Auditor (AAPC) I am an experienced abstract medical coder ICD10 proficient, currently pursuing CPC-H certification. I have proficient knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy, physiology; and I have clinical experience as a medical assistant. I am also well trained in the coding/billing practices of EMS which involve scene/interfacility ground and air (rotor/fixed wing) ambulance transports. I have written medical necessity & closer appropriate facility appeal letters to CMS and other insurance carriers with favorable outcomes. I currently audit physician documentation in each patients clinical record (EHR) for hierarchical condition category (hcc), and evaluation and management codes. After each audit I meet with the physician to discuss missed opportunities, and proper coding guidelines.
