Hi! My name is Dianne C. Moseley. I’m a healthcare professional with over 32 years of experience in revenue cycle management. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in every area of RCM, gaining a true understanding of how each part connects to the bigger picture. I am currently certified through AAPC with my CPC, CPCO, CPMA, and CANPC. For the past 15 years, I’ve focused my expertise on anesthesia — a specialty I’m deeply passionate about. I currently work with a large anesthesia group, as a Senior Auditor serving as a Subject Matter Expert, where I focus on optimizing coding accuracy, compliance, education, and revenue integrity. My passion lies in education, process improvement and helping others to succeed. This blog is a space where I will share practical insights, tips, and real-world guidance on anesthesia coding. My goal is to make complex concepts clear, support continuous learning, and help others feel confident navigating the anesthesia coding landscape.
