I have been in the medical field for 16 years with 14 years of coding

experience. After 14 years I have learned to code every service that

was provided by Calais Regional Hospital, Calais, Maine. I have spent

a considerable amount of my free-time reading and studying to improve

my coding abilities. I obtained my CCS through my own perseverance and

look forward to obtaining my CCS-P also. When I come across

unfamiliar coding I will do a thorough research using the ICD-9, 3M

encoder, principle procedure book, CPT, Coding Clinic, internet and

whatever else is necessary to get to the correct code. If I am not

comfortable with a code I am not afraid to ask for help. When I

approach a type of coding I don't know I am driven and thrive on the

challenge to learn it. I have no problem taking constructive criticism

and I love to learn. I enjoy working with peers and a director that I

can continue to learn from. Over the last 16 years I have learned each

job and filled in as needed for each position within the Health

Information Department. I take pride in myself for honesty, respect of

others, confidentiality of patients and others, dedication and loyalty

to my employment. I am true to the code of ethics.

Thank you for considering me for your position.
