I have over 10 years of experience managing HIM coding teams, including overseeing coding accuracy, productivity, and compliance with regulatory standards. I have successfully led teams through system implementations, training initiatives, and process improvements, ensuring high-quality coding practices and optimal reimbursement.

I stay updated on the latest coding regulations and guidelines, such as ICD-10-CM and CPT, and provide regular training to my team. I also conduct internal audits and collaborate with compliance departments to address any discrepancies, ensuring our coding practices meet all regulatory requirements.

I implement regular training sessions, use coding analytics to identify trends, and provide feedback to coders. I also encourage a collaborative environment where team members can share best practices and troubleshoot challenges together, which has consistently improved both accuracy and productivity.

I address conflicts and performance issues promptly and professionally by conducting one-on-one meetings to understand the root cause. I provide clear expectations, offer support, and, if necessary, implement performance improvement plans to ensure team cohesion and individual growth.

In a previous role, I introduced an automated coding audit tool that reduced errors by 20% and improved reimbursement rates. This change required training the team and adjusting workflows, but the results demonstrated significant efficiency gains and better compliance.
