NAME: Jennifer Avery, CCS, CPC-H, CPC, CPC-I

HOMETOWN: Niles, MI 

INSTRUCTS: Certified Coder Boot Camp® ,  Certified Coder Boot Camp® Online, and Certified Coder Boot Camp® - Inpatient Version 

FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM:   Depends on the sport- for baseball I am a born die-hard Cubs fan, for pro football I am a Miami Dolphins fan,.For hockey, I am torn between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks because I grew up between both. For college: University of Michigan all the way

FAVORITE SUMMERTIME ACTIVITY: Being out at the lake cabin, especially first thing the morning when it is quiet. 

MOST DIFFICULT MEDICAL EMERGENCY TO CODE:  One that comes to mind, which no longer poses the same issue due to changes in E codes, was falls from trampolines. I used to tell my class that you would swear that there were trampoline lobbyists saying we couldn’t have a code because they would never sell another trampoline again. I used to ask out of curiosity which E code they used and some would say “fall from one level to another” and another would tell me they would use “fall from playground equipment.” I personally had trouble with “fall from playground equipment” as I don’t recall many playgrounds with trampolines.
