About Carla Elsberry

At the core of every thriving healthcare organization is a commitment to accuracy, compliance, and the relentless pursuit of operational excellence. My passion for medical coding and revenue cycle management has been the driving force behind my career, grounded in the belief that precise coding not only protects organizational integrity but ultimately supports better patient care. I am deeply committed to building collaborative relationships with providers and teams, fostering a culture of continuous learning and compliance at every level. As an experienced coding manager and certified professional coder, my expertise spans ICD-10 and CPT coding, revenue cycle management, denial management, HCC risk adjustment, provider education, and policy development. I bring extensive knowledge across a broad range of specialties, including family medicine, internal medicine, cardiology, radiology, ophthalmology, dermatology, podiatry, endocrinology, and more. My background also includes medical software implementation, EMR management, Six Sigma process improvement, and Medicare RADV audits, equipping me with a well-rounded and uniquely versatile skill set.Among my proudest accomplishments is managing daily coding operations for 35 clients while leading a team of up to 24 coders at R1 RCM, consistently meeting productivity metrics and service line targets. At St. Joseph Heritage Healthcare, I was invited to speak to residents at UCI Clinic on Evaluation and Management Coding — a testament to the trust and credibility I have built within the medical community. I also hold multiple prestigious certifications through AAPC, including CPC, CEMC, and CRC designations, alongside a Six Sigma Green Belt.I am eager to bring my extensive expertise in coding management, compliance, and revenue cycle optimization to an organization where accuracy and integrity are a top priority. Whether partnering with providers to strengthen documentation, leading high-performing coding teams, or driving process improvements that impact the bottom line, I am ready to make a meaningful contribution. Let\'s connect and explore how I can help elevate your organization\'s coding and revenue cycle operations.
