Hi My name is Breana Austin. I am looking for an entry level coding position or hcc coding. I have copy and pasted my resume below. I have been having a hard time finding someone to take me on as a Full Time coder because I don't have experience, but I am indeed a very quick learner. The only experience I have is my externship which was with a Chiropractor and most of his codes where the same day by day. I am also working in the Medical Records department of a hospital abstracting and basic Medical Records Clerk duties. I am being patient and trying to work my way up but if anyone would just give me the chance or opportunity to put my education and the experience I do have to use I feel I would be a great asset to the company/work family.
P.S. Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time!
Breana Austin
