Summary
Current plan: To obtain Nurse Practitioner's Degree in Trauma setting while working in a fast paced environment as a Licensed Practical Nurse while finishing remaining two semesters of nursing school at WSCC.
Although my career has been in Inpatient Coding for the last 8 years, graduating nursing school is something I have always wanted to accomplish since first beginning the program at age 18, but had to take a step back in 2015 due to family issues.
Adept at enhancing medical coding accuracy, I spearheaded initiatives at Omega Healthcare that significantly improved documentation and coding outcomes. My expertise in ICD-10-CM/PCS and collaborative skills with clinical teams have been pivotal in maintaining compliance and streamlining processes. Proficient in encoder software and committed to continuous education, I excel in driving healthcare reimbursement efficiency. Before joining the Omega Healthcare team, I have worked contract assignments at multiple Trauma 1 & 2 teaching facilities across the USA.
