I have extensive experience with physician coding regulations, including ICD-10 and CPT coding. I have successfully implemented compliance programs that ensured adherence to federal and state guidelines, reducing audit risks and improving revenue cycles. My background includes training teams on coding best practices and staying updated on regulatory changes to maintain accuracy and compliance.

When discrepancies arise, I first review the documentation to understand the root cause. I then collaborate with the physician and coding team to resolve the issue, ensuring that the correct codes are used. I also provide training and resources to prevent future discrepancies, fostering a culture of accuracy and accountability.

I implement regular training sessions, use auditing tools, and provide feedback to physicians and coders. I also leverage technology, such as EHR systems, to streamline the coding process and reduce errors. By fostering open communication and a collaborative environment, I ensure that coding accuracy is consistently improved.

I regularly attend industry conferences, participate in webinars, and subscribe to coding newsletters and journals. I also engage with professional organizations to stay informed about the latest regulatory updates. This proactive approach ensures that my knowledge is always current and that I can effectively guide my team.

In a previous role, I introduced an EHR system that automated coding processes, reducing manual errors and improving efficiency. I also implemented a coding audit program that identified and corrected inefficiencies, leading to a 15% increase in coding accuracy and a streamlined workflow.
