In this position I work solely for Dr. Daniel Zelazny who is an Orthopaedic Surgeon who specializes in

to day operation of his practice. I book all of his surgery elective and emergency trauma. I insure that all
of his patients receive the necessary follow-up care that they require. It is also my responsibility to make
sure that all of the patients being seen by him are aware of the insurances that he participates in and insure
that if referral or precertification from primary care physicians are needed that they are in place. I do all
of his credentialing as he is on staff at many hospitals. I code all of his surgeries, and insure that they are
billed correctly and in a timely matter. I also keep up with all of his dictation through Zydoc, including
insuring that Operative Reports are received by hospital medical records departments to avoid suspension.

to insure that all prosthesis and instrumentation were in place at the time of the surgery. I write all of the
