In my previous role, I was responsible for ensuring that all medical claims were coded according to the latest ICD-10 guidelines. I encountered a situation where a new regulation required us to code for a specific complication that had not been previously documented. I collaborated with the medical team to gather the necessary information and updated our coding procedures to reflect the new requirement. This ensured that all claims were compliant and avoided potential audits or penalties.

I regularly attend industry conferences, webinars, and training sessions to stay abreast of the latest coding regulations. Additionally, I subscribe to relevant newsletters and participate in professional organizations that provide updates on changes in coding standards. I also conduct regular internal training sessions for my team to ensure everyone is up-to-date with the latest requirements.

If a team member is not adhering to coding compliance standards, I would first address the issue through a one-on-one conversation to understand any challenges they may be facing. I would then provide additional training or resources to help them meet the standards. If the issue persists, I would escalate the matter to my supervisor and work together to develop a corrective action plan to ensure compliance moving forward.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and impact of each project. I use project management tools to track deadlines and milestones, and I regularly review my task list to ensure that high-priority items are addressed first. I also communicate with stakeholders to align on priorities and adjust my approach as needed to meet all compliance requirements.

In a previous role, I identified a potential compliance risk during a routine audit where a subset of claims were being coded incorrectly due to a misunderstanding of a new regulation. I immediately notified the relevant team and worked with them to correct the coding errors. I also implemented additional training and updated our coding guidelines to prevent future occurrences. This proactive approach helped us avoid a larger compliance issue and ensured ongoing adherence to standards.
