I have extensive experience with medical coding, having worked with ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes for over five years. I am proficient in accurately assigning codes to diagnoses and procedures, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My background includes auditing medical records to verify coding accuracy and providing training to staff on coding best practices.

I strictly adhere to HIPAA regulations and implement robust security measures to protect patient information. This includes using secure access controls, encrypting sensitive data, and conducting regular audits to identify and mitigate potential security risks. I also provide training to team members on privacy practices and the importance of maintaining confidentiality.

I utilize advanced electronic health record (EHR) systems to efficiently manage and organize medical records. I implement structured filing systems, use search functionalities to quickly locate documents, and regularly perform data clean-up to eliminate duplicates and outdated information. Additionally, I prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance to ensure timely processing of records.

When encountering discrepancies or errors in medical records, I conduct a thorough investigation to identify the root cause. I collaborate with healthcare providers and other stakeholders to verify information and make necessary corrections. I also document the resolution process to prevent future occurrences and improve record accuracy.

In my previous role, I encountered a situation where a significant backlog of medical records needed to be processed within a tight deadline. I developed a strategic plan, prioritized tasks, and coordinated with the team to streamline the workflow. By leveraging EHR system capabilities and maintaining open communication, we successfully cleared the backlog while ensuring accuracy and compliance.
