My name is Sthefany Torres, RHIA, CCS, CPMA, CRC. I am an AHIMA Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer and a Senior Coder at Northwell Health. I started at Northwell in the spring of 2019. I currently enjoy being part of the Centralized Coding Revenue Cycle department. My tasks include reviewing the hospital encounters’ medical documentation in collaboration with the Clinical Documentation Integrity and Coding Quality department. We work to translate the documentation into ICD-10 diagnosis and procedure codes, which in turn paint the clinical picture of the hospital stay. The captured or reported codes are used for various purposes, including but not limited to: reimbursement, statistical analysis, and research. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics and Information Management from the University of Central Florida.
