AAPC Instructor, Revenue Cycle Expert & Medical Coding Tutor

La Shonta B.

My name is La'Shonta, and I am passionate about helping aspiring medical coders and billers build strong foundations for success in this field. I earned my Medical Billing and Coding Diploma in 2013, graduating as class Valedictorian, and I obtained my Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certification the same year. With multiple AAPC certifications and years of hands-on experience, I have developed an in-depth understanding of medical coding, billing, and revenue cycle management.

As an AAPC Approved Instructor since 2022, I currently serve as an Adjunct Instructor at a technical college in Orlando, FL, where I teach Medical Billing and Coding. I also own L.A. Burgess, a revenue cycle management company, where I work closely with healthcare providers to optimize their coding and billing processes. This real-world experience allows me to provide practical, up-to-date insights to my students.

My tutoring approach is student-centered and interactive. I tailor each session to your learning style, whether you are preparing for certification exams (CPC, CPB, NCCT) or seeking a better understanding of coding guidelines (CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS Level II). I believe in breaking down complex concepts into simple, relatable terms and using real-world examples to reinforce learning.

Whether you are a beginner just starting your journey or a professional looking to refine your skills, I am here to guide you. Let’s work together to help you gain confidence, master medical coding, and take the next step in your career!

I look forward to working with you.
