​Jess Wellard, CPC, CRC, brings over 18 years of expertise in medical coding, auditing, and documentation enhancement to Acevedo Consulting Incorporated. Beginning her career as a CPC-A, she rapidly developed a deep understanding of the medical revenue cycle and coding practices within the healthcare industry. Jess quickly became a trusted internal educator, empowering providers, clinical staff, administrative staff and coding staff across more than five diverse women's health practices within women's health specialties, including OB-GYN, fertility services, Maternal Fetal Medicine, and Uro-gynecology.

 

Transitioning to Orthopedics, Jess discovered her passion for medical auditing and provider education. She excels in equipping physicians and physician assistants with current E/M coding practices, precise diagnosis coding, and enhanced documentation skills. Jess’s expertise grew and covers a broad spectrum of orthopedic services, including E/M, surgical procedures, and incident-to billing for multiple orthopedic practices throughout Northern and Central Virginia. In her subsequent move to consulting in the medical auditing field, Jess navigated the complex government and commercial payer regulations across multiple specialties. During this period, she earned her CRC certification from the AAPC. Currently, she is expanding her compliance knowledge and pursuing the CHC certification from the Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA).
