*/**/****

I would like to be considered for a position as a Remote Inpatient Coder. I have a demonstrated ability to abstract information from medical records, an excellent working knowledge of inpatient and outpatient coding conventions and guidelines and comprehensive experience with cases that require a more complex level of coding. I have experience with Quantim, 3M, SNOMED CT, MEDCIN, EMR s, EHRs and have worked extensively in ICD-9-CM, CPT/HCPCS, ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS for over 3 years. My recent contract as a Clinical Documentation Improvement Editor (part of a team developing Clinical Documentation Improvement software for physicians) has added to my skill set and deepened my understanding of the complexity of coding in the healthcare field. I am also familiar with Medicare reimbursement systems, data abstraction and encoder functionality which will be helpful and contribute to your bottom line. I have completed formal education in Anatomy and Physiology (I and II), Medical Terminology, Pathphysiology and advanced coding functions, rules and guidelines as they relate to accurate ICD-9-CM, CPT and DRG assignment. With a CCA Certification from AHIMA (scored in the 90th percentile) and preparation to sit for my CCS when testing resumes, I am confident that I possess the skills necessary to excel at this position. I look forward to speaking with you about opportunities and how I may contribute.
