My journey into the world of medical coding didn't start in a sterile office; it started at my kitchen table, balancing a mountain of ICD-10 books, a growing career in Risk Adjustment (HCC), and a very vocal flock of chickens in the backyard.
I know exactly how overwhelming it feels to stare at a 1,500-page coding manual while prepping for a certification exam or navigating the latest CMS-HCC model changes. After earning my B.S. in Health Sciences and working as a CPC in the high-stakes world of Medicare/Medicaid coding, I realized that the "standard" tools just weren't enough. I needed a system that was as organized as a well-kept coop and as sharp as a hen’s beak.
Why I Started This Shop
I created The Coding Coop to bridge the gap between "technical expertise" and "real-life study habits." My products aren't just stickers; they are a roadmap designed by a professional who understands the 2026 V28 transition, the nuances of MEAT documentation, and the pressure of a timed exam.
When I’m not auditing charts or designing new tab sets, you can usually find me in the garden with my teenage kids or filming new videos for my YouTube channel (yes, the chickens are the stars!).
The Coop Promise
Every tab set and cheat sheet is "hatched" right here in my home office. My goal is to give you the confidence to stop hunting for codes and start mastering them. Whether you're a student or a seasoned pro, I’m here to help you protect your "nest egg" and soar in your career.
Welcome to the Coop!
