From Susan, Certified RN-Coder in California -- to Joyce at RN-Coder Network

Susan Curtin

to me
Good morning!

I am VERY interested in the opportunities you’ve suggested, below.  I am currently working for Prime Healthcare at their San Dimas and Glendora hospitals as Director of Case Management and have inserted myself as the right-hand woman to their new CEO (who came from St. Francis in LA and was at Pomona Valley prior to that - good man) - they are so clueless about what’s going to hit them with ICD-10; their current system employs foreign-trained medical students who have not been successful in passing their US Board exams.  Corporate does not give them much in the way of training for coding/auditing - seems they assume that their medical school training should be enough (far from true!).  They also only use an encoder system, not the books, so their efforts are severely lacking in accuracy. 

 I met with HIMS, CDS, CEO and Coding Supervisors last Thursday and was dumbfounded; your training courses have taught me far more than these people know!  They routinely leave codes as NOS and NEC at the time of the bills dropping!  The loss of revenue is insane.  I do their MediCal TARs and there is clearly documentation that a sepsis is due to a specific bug, yet it’s left as septicemia or urosepsis NOS.  

Anyway…….I want to be in control of my destiny once and for all; my directing a crew of social workers and case managers in a for-profit environment while standing by watching the money be left on the table is driving me batty.  

I am very tech/computer savvy - the situation you describe below with PracticeFusion definitely piqued my interest - I want in!!  

I will spend this afternoon checking out their online information - I praise God for finding you and your program VERY often, particularly as I dazzle Administration with what you’ve taught me!

I want to help MDs make what they really deserve, and I know that the coming regulations are going to really challenge the majority of practices, particularly those with untrained office staff and EMR issues.  My immediate goal is to take your certification tests soon (I love having more initials after my name LOL) and figure out the best way to get business coming in quickly so I can run with this.  I have already applied for an EIN number, LLC, and business license (I have owned/operated a craft studio in ____ for 4 years so I want to do everything above board and protect my assets, etc.). 

 Any assistance you can give me will be very very much appreciated.  I am referring other RNs to your programs on a near-daily basis, and I’m sure my successes will drive my contacts to buy in, and buy your programs!  You’re brilliant, by the way, for getting the CDS started too - I tried to take the existing certification test, but they demand I have worked as a documentation specialist for 2 years first!  

My 25+ years of RN, 5 years Medical Records Management mean nothing I guess!!  I aced the few practice tests I could find for this certification, so it is maddening not to be allowed to take the test.
Anyway…I love my neighborhood!  I bought in 1997 and my three kids have always been in private school, though my oldest graduated from_______ High due to having to be on home/hospital program her last few months of her senior year; the private schools did not offer this so I admit it was frustrating to not have her get her diploma from the schools she actually attended.  Politics…….

Thank you so much again for taking the time for personally communicating with me!  I really need this all to work for me, and for my family!  Any and all assistance will be forever and greatly appreciated!!

Tell Your Nursing Friends! 50% OFF RN-Coder COMBO Extended!

Hi Everyone --


Quick Note:  To honor my sweet Mother, Peggy Moxley of Kansas City, who loved coming to my classes and even helped me get started with RN-Coder by holding classes in her lovely home -- I've extended the 50% off COMBO Pkg thru Mother's Day May 10th.

We are getting more phone calls in the office for jobs and for programs,  Your hospital might want consider training all their nurses in ICD10 with our online RN-Coder ICD10 program -- available 24/7.

Remember, the online RN-Coder programs are self-paced with no time limits.  Most online programs are available  only for a short time.

Hospitals or other large employers may train 100 nurses in a matter of 4-6 weeks -- and be ready for Point-of-Care Coding by 60 days before ICD10 implementation.  REALLY!  It can work.
