To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you today to express my interest within your company. I have 15 plus years of
experience working as a Licensed Practical Nurse and have specialized in areas of Internal
Medicine, Alzheimer’s, Home Care and Hospice, and Rheumatology. I obtained my certification
in Medical Coding in 2014 and completed all course requirements to be ICD-10 proficient. I am
looking for an opportunity to be able to work from my home office.
I am currently working for Southern Tier Arthritis and Rheumatism. My duties include; triage of
patient calls, updating patient records accordingly, review and process patient medication
authorizations, and training staff members on current updates to electronic medical records. On
a regular basis I perform coding validation and when requested reviews of patient medical
records to ensure correct coding as defined by the regulation and policy. I was selected by
leadership to be the main point of contact and lead specialist for the implementation of ICD-10
coding system.
I am a solid performer and set high expectations for myself. I strive to excel in all areas of my
work and am an accountable detail oriented person. I work hard to achieve set goals established
by the organization, work well independently and as a team member and have the best interest of
the organization at the forefront of any decisions I make.
I would welcome an opportunity to speak with you regarding open positions or any other
opportunities that you would feel I would be a great fit for.
