My 30 years in health information management includes teaching healthcare classes at the post-secondary level, billing and coding, Subject Matter Expert, UMA and Hussian College Advisory Board, Vice Chair Board of Testing for NCCT, OIG Integrity Agreement Facilitator, auditor, compliance trainer, ABHES accreditation evaluator, AAPC Fellow and CEU Vendor, consultant, speaker, book contributor/reviewer and consumer educator. I am also an item writer/item reviewer for NHA, NCCT, AMCA, and a member of the Nashville/Columbia AAPC Chapter.

I have been in the field for over 30 years and am very passionate about my work and the people I work with. I have the following certifications: CPC, CPMA, AAPC Fellow, CHI, CBCS, CMAA and CEHRS. I also have a Bachelor's and Master's degree.

If you need help using the CPT, ICD-10-CM and the HCPCS reference books I can help. Or maybe you would like some help preparing for a certification or completing homework. I have lots of tips, tricks and short cuts to help make learning and using the reference manuals easy and fun. You will walk away with a smile on your face and confidence knowing that you got it.

Extremely knowledgeable and understanding tutor

Loretta, is making a huge difference in my understanding of medical coding. She's showing me things that I would never get or understand while taking this self-paced course and I am gaining more confidence and very excited about my learning! I wouldn't be able to get through this without her

An awesome tutor

I am presently in the AAPC.- CPC class. I am not dong well. Loretta helps me to understand why I am not choosing the correct answers when I take my review exam at the end of each chapter. When I work with her it is only then I realize why my choice was incorrect. I wish I had her brain when I take my tests. LOL. She helps me in the understanding of why my answers are wrong. She has been a life changer. I will continue to work with her until I finish my call in May.

Loretta is extremely knowledgeable and can do coding with her eyes closed. She is very easygoing and has a great sense of humor. She never loses patience, even if she has to explain something several times. Because of her help, I was able to pass my CPC exam and I'll be forever grateful.
