Leading the charge in the business of medicine, Ms. Williams:

Ms. Williams is a certified professional coder and approved coding instructor with the privilege of overseeing the physician coding education curriculum for multiple large hospital health systems, working side by side with over 2500 providers. As the program chair of a medical coding program for a career college, in 2018, she identified the growing need for skilled coders in the billing and reimbursement sector, so she opened her (own) school to train for and proctor the professional coder credential. Through maintaining excellent relationships in the medical community, Ms. Williams built a coding mentorship network, a model whereby apprentice coders were placed in small and mid-sized practices, under her tutelage. She partnered with the business and clinical leadership to develop provider coding and documentation integrity programs and denials management initiatives. These deep analytical dives and intense collaboration models enhanced workflows and maximized reimbursement results. Proudly, she was one of the first in the industry to incorporate the concept of “denials coders”.

Ms. Williams is considered a “hybrid model” being a coder, auditor and physician educator with an extensive background in revenue cycle operations. Her strengths are communication and collaboration. She believes in the power of people and thrives on building trust and integrity in partnerships. She specializes in root cause analysis, research and resolutions which tailors’ solutions through continued advancement of technology and business intelligence, closes or bridges gaps, enhances workflows and ultimately, optimizes revenue!
