Hello, welcome to another edition of I am AAPC. I am Alex McKinley from the National Office and today we have Laura Smith with us. Laura, how are you? Hi, I'm good. Thank you. Good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you much for volunteering yourself, Laura, to share your story with us. I put out a call to our membership to share their story and experience with us. And you were a stay at home mom and looking for a career. Laura, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself, where you're from, what kind of work you'd done previously and how you ended up in the revenue cycle side of health care. Yes, thank you for sharing my story too. But yes, I had little kids at home. I ended up having four children and I was at home with them for years. And when they were little, I kept thinking, you know, one of these days they're going to grow up and they're going to leave me and I need to have some skills for myself. So I looked into taking a class at home and there was some classes that I took and it took me, it took me only like six months or something to take it and then later on as they were growing up I had an opportunity to get my foot in the door in a office, a neurology office, and I got some experience there. A friend from church was the one that referred me to the job. And then later I followed her to another ophthalmology office and I learned to love coding and so I kind of transformed into a from a surgery benefits coordinator into a medical billing and surgery billing and coding specialists. Wow, wow, I want to back this up
