Bio
I graduated college with an AS in Medical Insurance Billing and Coding. I also have an AAPC CPC certification. I am seeking a position within the healthcare community where I can utilize my knowledge and skills as a medical biller and/or coder. I am diligent, professional, detail oriented and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.
I am a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) through the AAPC and have several years of practical experience in medical coding in a multi-specialty orthopedic medical office environment to include pain management. I am currently looking to expand my coding knowledge base into the world of surgical coding.
