Medical billing specialist at Emerald NW Billing resolving denied and underpaid claims.

United States

Message

At Emerald NW Billing, I investigate denied, rejected, and underpaid claims for multiple podiatry practices. I review payer determinations and remittance advice, then submit corrected claims, appeals, or supporting documentation to resolve issues.

At Alpine Chiropractic Center, I reduced A/R from $30K to $18K and saved 575 billing hours through process improvements and efficient claim resolution. I’m currently completing AAPC CPC and CPB certification training.
