New
I have over 12 years of experience in the medical field as Practice and Billing Manager of a multi physician, multi specialty medical practice in Central New Jersey. I am currently looking to relocate my family to the North Atlanta area, specifically Cumming, GA within the next couple of months. Currently I am solely responsible for all aspects of medical coding and billing. My billing knowledge includes primary care, internal medicine, cardiology, inpatient hospital, nursing home and home visits. Since I am initially primary care from ages 13 to 100, my office sees and preforms many procedures in house. I am extremely passionate about my career. I am currently studying to obtain my CPC in December of 2012 where I plan to extend my knowledge for the upcoming CPT-10 transition. I am loyal, dedicated and eager to hold a position where I can share my knowledge. I am a quick and determined learner. I would like to be a part of a company where I can challenge and grow my career in medical coding and billing. I am open to telecommute or be office based full time. I would appreciate any leads that would help me find a position prior to my move. Please feel free to review my cover letter and resume below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
