GEBBS Healthcare (previously Aviacode) --- 11/21 to Present I perform coding reviews of charges across a variety of specialties. However, I am the only coder who reviews deliveries for OB/GYN. I take pride in having streamlined the coding process for this specialty. I perform audits, ensure documentation and coding compliance, and provide education to providers and office staff with references from trustworthy coding resources. I have drafted a personal OB/GYN coding manual to assist me in my day to day workflow. KETTERING HEALTH NETWORK --- 11/18 to 07/21

OB/GYN Coder

I was responsible for coding office visit and hospital E/M encounters as well as surgeries and deliveries for an OB/GYN practice. This position required utilizing knowledge of ever- changing coding and payor guidelines to optimize reimbursement within the appropriate compliance parameters. I enjoyed assisting and educating providers regarding adherence to these guidelines and policies. I was happy when a provider was appreciative to be reimbursed for his/her services because of better understanding coding and documentation guidelines.

Relocated to Jacksonville Florida.
