Coding Compliance Specialist @ Health Care Service Corporation
About
With over a decade of experience as a healthcare professional, I bring deep expertise in HCC risk adjustment, medical coding, auditing, and documentation integrity. I specialize in audit-defensible ICD-10-CM coding, RADV validation, and compliance-first documentation practices across both payer and provider environments. My focus is ensuring that every coded diagnosis is clearly documented, clinically supported, and defensible during audit review. While AI can assist with data processing and pattern recognition, accurate risk adjustment continues to rely on clinical judgment, guideline adherence, and documentation clarity—areas where experienced coders and auditors remain essential. I have also completed advanced training in Home Health Coding and Reimbursement (March 2025), strengthening my ability to assess OASIS-driven documentation, plan-of-care alignment, and claim accuracy within Medicare home health payment and audit frameworks.
