Healthcare Writer, Encore Editorial
Naomi spent nearly a decade as a registered nurse before moving into healthcare writing. Her time at the bedside is why her articles here focus less on jargon and more on what a CPT code, an ICD-10 code, or a line on an EOB actually means for the person trying to read their own bill.
Naomi covers the coding and billing guides on MedicalCodeSearch: how to look up a code, how ICD-10 and CPT differ, what a modifier does, and how to make sense of an Explanation of Benefits. She is not a certified medical coder, biller, or clinician, and nothing she writes here is billing, coding-compliance, or clinical advice. For an actual claim, a certified coder or your payer's own guidelines are the authoritative source.
