About YOU: My favorite thing is to help people achieve their academic goals, and I would be really honored to help you overcome any obstacles you have to your success. Whether it is patiently detangling the confusion, putting a spotlight on topics to see them better, getting more practice than just a practice test, or organizing your thoughts and concepts to work better for you, I can help with all that.

I teach and do Medical billing and coding, medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, healthcare law and ethics, electronic health records, healthcare administration, communications, business, business ethics, and management. I serve as department head for an educational organization and oversee two university programs. I've been a contributing author to allied health texts and written curricula for healthcare and stand on the board for several certification organizations in differing capacities. Healthcare technology companies seek my advice in developing their medical coding and electronic health record programs. Educational organizations consult with me on their healthcare programs. Indeed, the job search company hired me to work on their assessment programs.

My favorite: one-on-one with people working through their questions and challenges until they succeed. Let's talk.

Medical Coding

Medical Coding

Working in over 30 years in the business of healthcare helped me develop an understanding of the field from the most scoped out view to the most zoned in view. During that time, I've worked many specialties of care in many types of facilities. This gives me a particularly unique perspective on this industry. Organizations have used that expertise for publishing educational materials, developing software, improving their companies and evaluating their certification exams. Helping people with their next step is my favorite use of what I bring to the table. Why shouldn't you take advantage of my knowledge, too?

Excellent! Absolutely NO REGRETS! Highly Recommend Zia!!!!

I had about six sessions with Zia, helping me to prepare to take the CPC Exam for my second attempt. I have never felt more prepared and confident to take on the exam, especially since I'm new to the Medical Billing & Coding arena. Zia was so helpful, she filled in all the gaps of information that I was missing, particularly in the guidelines, terminology, and just general knowledge questions that will come up. I practiced with her on particular sections that were difficult for me, and I reviewed them with her on our follow-up sessions. Zia is patient with you, she helped clear up any confusion or what-if questions you may come across, and overall it was money well spent! I highly recommend Zia to anyone who needs an in-depth understanding of coding & the different sections of the CPT book. I went into my exam with the strategy I felt worked best for me, and I even had time to spare to look over my answers before time ran out. Thank you so much for everything Zia, I couldn't have done it without you!
