Shien Barachina

I am a CPC coding student with a strong background in healthcare insurance and claims. I have over five years of experience working in health insurance member services and provider relations at Blue Cross Blue Shield and Anthem Blue Cross of California where I developed hands-on knowledge of medical terminology, ICD-10 and CPT coding concepts, insurance billing processes, and HIPAA compliance. I hold an active Texas Life and Health Insurance License and I am passionate about transitioning into medical coding to combine my insurance expertise with my growing coding knowledge.

I am eager to learn, detail oriented, and committed to building a long term career in healthcare revenue cycle.
