Hello.
My name is Anna Jones and I am a newly certified CPC-A as of May 2018. I live in Winston-Salem, NC. I am searching for a coding job. I am new to the medical field but have a background in Health and Fitness. I received my Bachelor’s in Science from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in August of 2008. Since then I have worked in Fitness, Hospitality, and Customer Service, Assistant Manager, and Administration positions. My experience in these different areas add to my new credential. I am used to having to multi-task and adapt to new jobs quickly. I’ve always had an interest in the medical field and coding sparked my interest and I am very excited to start my career in this vast and always changing field. It’s been a difficult search because most places require at least 2 years of experience. How are we supposed to get experience without the opportunity of getting hired? The constant struggle. I have been interning at a Billing and Coding office for the past 3 months to gain "experience" all voluntary and no pay. It is at Optimed Hospitalists PLLC in Davidson NC. There I have been:
• Processing, auditing and editing hospital, wound care, and skilled nursing charges.
• Payment posting.
• Insurance billing.
• Posting and adjustments of payment from carriers and patients.
• Assisting coding manager with other necessary tasks.
It has been helpful to learn my way around the EMR systems and to become familiar with the different insurances and really just the day to day function of a billing and coding office. I am hoping that posting my resume on here may help? Any advice is greatly appreciated. From what I’ve read, it’s tough to get a coding job right off the bat and you are better off applying for any job to get your foot in the door. Still the struggle is real with "no medical office experience". I am considering doing Practicode. It seems I am not the only one in this boat. Just going to keep trucking! Thank you for anyone who views my resume!!
Sincerely,
Anna Jones CPC-A
