What I find most intriguing about Medical Coding and Reimbursement is the endless versatility, in a demanding job market. I would like to follow my passion for working with medical records, and specifically train in coding and reimbursement roles to see my vision come to fruition. I have high aspirations, and set short-term goals that will build up to my long-term goal, to start my own medical billing and coding company, one day. I can see it all possible beginning with learning about medical coding and reimbursement!
The
topics I am most interested in learning more about, are the different coding
sets; ICD-10, CPT, HCPCS, what they are made up of, and how they are used in
coding. I have used the HCPCS and CPT codes to bill for outpatient behavioral
health providers, but this was mostly self-taught and with one day of
instruction from Medicaid. It was extremely basic practice nonetheless, it
was great exposure for me. Because I really enjoyed getting my providers paid
and took the initiative to help create other sources of revenue for them as
well. And I was hooked. ‘I finally knew what I wanted to be when I grew up’.
Overall, I am excited to start learning about all aspects of medical coding and
reimbursement. It has been a ‘long-time coming’ for me. It is important to me
that I learn everything I can while I achieve my formal education at college. I
look forward to the next 7 weeks in your class.
