I have over 8 years of experience working with HIMS, including 5 years in a managerial role. My expertise includes ensuring coding compliance with ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS standards, as well as conducting regular audits to maintain accuracy. I’ve successfully implemented coding training programs for staff, reducing errors by 20%. Additionally, I stay updated on regulatory changes to ensure our organization remains compliant with CMS and other governing bodies.

I prioritize accuracy by implementing a dual-coding review process and leveraging advanced coding software to minimize errors. Regular training sessions and workshops keep the team updated on coding standards. I also monitor productivity metrics and provide feedback to improve efficiency. By fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, my teams consistently achieve a 95%+ accuracy rate while meeting deadlines.

In my previous role, we faced a recurring issue of denied claims due to incorrect coding. I conducted a root cause analysis and identified gaps in staff training. I developed a targeted training program and introduced a pre-submission audit process. Within three months, claim denials decreased by 30%, and revenue recovery improved significantly. This experience reinforced the importance of proactive problem-solving and team education.

I stay informed by attending annual coding conferences, subscribing to industry newsletters, and participating in webinars hosted by organizations like AHIMA and AAPC. I also network with peers to share insights and best practices. Additionally, I ensure my team receives regular updates and training on new regulations, which helps us maintain compliance and adapt quickly to changes in the healthcare landscape.

I believe in leading by example and fostering open communication. I set clear goals, provide regular feedback, and recognize achievements to keep the team motivated. I also encourage professional development through certifications and training opportunities. By creating a supportive environment and addressing challenges collaboratively, I’ve built high-performing teams that consistently meet organizational objectives.
