What I'm looking for
I am a resourceful and results-driven professional with extensive expertise in healthcare audits, denials management, and process optimization.

At Reid Hospital, I successfully saved and won over $27 million by conducting root cause analyses of denied claims and educating clinical staff on proper documentation techniques.
Throughout my career, I have served as a liaison between various departments, including patient accounts, billing, coding, and case management, to resolve denial issues efficiently.
