I am proficient in ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS coding systems. In my previous role, I used ICD-10 for diagnosing patient conditions, CPT for medical procedures, and HCPCS for supplies and services. I ensured accurate coding for billing and compliance, reducing claim denials by 15%. My experience also includes using these systems in EHR software, ensuring seamless integration and data accuracy.

I prioritize accuracy by staying updated on coding guidelines and attending regular training sessions. I double-check codes against medical documentation and use coding software to flag discrepancies. Compliance is ensured by adhering to HIPAA regulations and conducting internal audits. In my last role, my attention to detail reduced coding errors by 20%, improving reimbursement rates and maintaining regulatory compliance.

In a previous role, I identified a recurring discrepancy in CPT coding for a specific procedure. I reviewed the medical records, consulted with the billing team, and discovered a miscommunication in documentation. I corrected the codes, trained the team on proper documentation, and implemented a verification process. This resolved the issue, preventing future discrepancies and ensuring accurate billing.

I manage tight deadlines by prioritizing tasks based on urgency and complexity. I use time management tools to organize my workflow and maintain focus. In high-volume settings, I collaborate with colleagues to distribute workloads efficiently. For example, during a peak billing cycle, I streamlined my process, reducing turnaround time by 25% without compromising accuracy or compliance.

I stay current by subscribing to industry newsletters, attending webinars, and participating in professional organizations like AHIMA. I also complete continuing education courses to maintain my certification. Recently, I attended a workshop on ICD-10 updates, which helped me implement changes effectively in my workplace, ensuring compliance and minimizing disruptions to the coding process.
