Supporting healthcare providers has become my focus and passion. I am eager to share concise and detailed information that simplifies coding for outpatient encounters and procedures. Expenses are escalating; therefore, capturing every billable service is vital for profitability. Coding is a daunting task and frequent changes compound the difficulty. With 30 years of experience, I've spent over two decades as a nurse practitioner and the last decade in solo practice. This seasoning brought to light just how informal the training is on coding. None of my practice locations offered formal training; it was all learn as you go. My clinical experience is broad-based and includes urgent care, primary care, rural health, pediatric primary care, occupational health, correctional facility treatment and long-term geriatric care. Let's work together and work smarter, not harder!!
