Welcome, AAPC members to another I am AAPC interview. I am Alex McKinley, AAPC, Alex from the AAPC National Office, and we are with Heather Hulk today. Hello, Heather, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, how are you doing? I'm great, thank you. And with I am AAPC, we are here to learn the stories of AAPC members and Heather. We want to know your story. So why don't you just start off by telling us about yourself, where you're from and a little bit about your history in the medical coding field. I am from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I actually got into medical coding, billing, the whole medical realm, by a mishap, actually. I, in my senior year in school, thought it was going to be a nurse, so I took my EMT, did all the hands on, and so forth. Actually had a lot of experience in the ED department. I that was the world I was going. Started working in some CNA work, was accepted into the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and graduated and decided I didn't want to travel away, got scared, so actually just was a manager for a little while at a local Kmart. There was a mass hire at a billing department and my aunt said, why don't you go try that? It's still medicine and you won't have to travel until you feel more comfortable. So I walked in the door for an interview. They said, you know, what they did, I didn't know what a CPT code was
