As a student pursuing an associate’s degree in Medical Coding and Billing, I bring a unique blend of determination, adaptability, and a strong work ethic shaped by my diverse professional background and cultural roots in the Philippines.

From my years as a custodian and caregiver to my current studies, my focus has always been on providing precision, dedication, and excellence in everything I do. These qualities now fuel my passion for healthcare administration, where accurate documentation and efficient billing play a crucial role in patient care and the success of healthcare organizations.

As part of my academic journey, I have gained key competencies that will support me in contributing effectively to the healthcare field:

1. Understanding and Applying HIPAA Standards:
   I have a thorough understanding of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its vital role in safeguarding patient confidentiality. My training emphasizes compliance in all aspects of medical coding and billing to ensure that patient data is handled securely and ethically.

2. Managing Patient Appointments Efficiently:
   I have developed the ability to create and manage patient appointments using digital calendars, ensuring streamlined scheduling processes. This competency is essential for reducing administrative errors and improving patient satisfaction in healthcare settings.

3. Tracking Health Screenings and Immunizations:
   By learning to track health screenings and immunizations accurately, I can contribute to better patient outcomes and ensure that preventive care measures are documented effectively.

4. Facilitating Respectful Communication:
   Effective communication is critical in healthcare, and I understand the importance of fostering respectful interactions among providers, staff, and patients. My experience emphasizes professionalism and empathy in every interaction, ensuring a positive environment.

5. Exploring the Role of Patient Portals:
   I have studied the role and functionality of patient portals, which empower patients to access their medical records, communicate with providers, and take an active role in their care. Understanding this technology allows me to support patient engagement and education.

This portfolio is a reflection of my commitment to lifelong learning, showcasing not only my academic achievements but also the practical applications of my skills.
