I support accurate medical records, insurance verification, and timely patient care.
What I'm looking for
At Vision Plus, I support face-to-face patient care by coordinating appointments, prescriptions, referrals, insurance eligibility, precertifications, and provider communications.
I resolve complex prescription discrepancies with optometrists and insurance companies while maintaining accurate records, work orders, doctor notations, and payment information. My work includes Medicare, major medical and vision carriers, payor portals, clearinghouses, and EHR/EMR systems.
Previously at Express Scripts, I handled patient inquiries, prescription ordering, insurance verification, Medicare Part D enrollment, prior authorizations, appeals, and benefit information. I was awarded an Excellent Customer Service Award for helping members select drug plans that fit their medication needs.
I'm certified in medical records management and passionate about combining attention to detail, HIPAA compliance, and compassion when patients need it most.
