Medical Billing Collections Expert Witness

SUMMARY

As a certified medical biller with over ten years of experience, I’ve gotten great satisfaction from digging deep to discover trends that may recover a significant amount of revenue for a provider, or otherwise spot where there may be costly errors in compliance breaches, for example. The researching into charts and claims, and the reporting thereof, is work I enjoy. Having my Biller certificate, I am scheduled to test for the AAPC’s Coder certificate by the end of the year, and I hope to ultimately attain their Auditor’s certificate thereafter. While currently billing for medical providers (MD and ND) by remote contract, I am available for opportunities to aid a practice (medical or legal) in case reviews of medical charts, coding, and billing, for purposes of reimbursement, compliance, or fraud prevention.
