Summary
I am an experienced coding specialist at Optum. I have 10 plus years experience with outpatient and transportation coding. I enjoy coding and learning new ways to code. I'm always looking forward to new challenges and expanding my coding knowledge. This job has taught me how to be a great multitasker and be detail oriented when looking over patient charts. I always reach my monthly productivity goals and accuracy reviews.
