Medical Records Technician - The Comprehensive Guide

di DEAN STRATTON (Autore)

VIRUTI SATYAN SHIVAN, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Your fast-track path to a confident, job-ready start in medical records. Imagine your first day in a busy outpatient clinic: charts queueing up, providers asking for quick audits, a payer requesting a record—this guide shows exactly what to do, in what order, and why. Built for aspiring Medical Records Technicians and career-switchers, it blends core principles (privacy, coding, documentation integrity) with practical checklists, realistic scenarios, and employer-ready deliverables. Proven workflows: intake-to-archive steps for paperless and hybrid environments, plus daily/weekly routines to stay ahead of backlogs. Compliance made clear: HIPAA/Privacy basics, minimum necessary, release-of-information flow, and audit-trail hygiene—explained with decision trees and “what could go wrong” mini-cases. Coding clarity: foundations of ICD-10-CM and CPT/HCPCS use in records, denials patterns, and how documentation supports clean claims and reduces rework. EHR mastery: templates, smart phrases, metadata awareness, and quality checks to prevent copy-forward errors and improve data reliability. Career toolkit: résumé snippets, interview prompts, externship game plan, and metrics to prove impact (turnaround time, error rate, first-pass acceptance). Whether you are prepping for your first role or leveling up as a records lead, this resource turns theory into repeatable practice. Use it to standardize your day, protect patient privacy, collaborate smoothly with billers and clinicians, and document care that is accurate, auditable, and useful for the whole team.
