Trish Cress

Patricia Cress

Medical Billing Team Leader

BSN, CPC

Ms. Patricia Cress is the Medical Billing Team Leader. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Gwynedd Mercy University and began her career as a Registered nurse in the Philadelphia area. Her nursing background includes working as a nurse case manager for Aetna where she was first introduced to the world of coding, and then for a large Otolaryngologist group where she continued her education as a professional coder.

She quickly advanced into a leadership position once she became a part of the Veridical RCM team. Her clinical experience and nursing education set her apart from other professional coders. Her ability to breakdown material to educate others with less experience, coupled with her thoroughness, accuracy and self-motivation, help distinguish her as a resident expert – and artist, as she frequently arrives at the office covered in paint from her latest project.

Currently she is continuing to advance her knowledge through a dual education as a Certified Physician Practice Manager and a Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder.
