As an outpatient coder II at R1 RCM, I oversaw the review and assignment of codes for diagnosis, CPT and HCPCS, according to the appropriate classification system for outpatient encounters. I also managed coding edits, ensuring accurate and compliant coding practices. With a CPC and CCA certification and 8+ years of hospital based coding experience, I have a strong foundation in coding principles and government regulations, as well as a proven track record of meeting productivity and quality metrics consistently.My previous role as a coding associate at Sutter Shared Services enabled me to develop my skills in various aspects of insurance management, policies and procedures, coding practices, and regulatory compliance. I reviewed medical record documentation to select and sequence appropriate diagnoses, CPT and HCPCS codes for emergency and ancillary records, using hospital encoder systems. I also effectively handled denials, resolving coding edits and taking corrective actions to finalize account disposition and facilitate timely reimbursement. My goal is to leverage my coding expertise and versatility to support efficient and high quality coding operations in the healthcare industry.
