@annacollins2
I verify insurance, secure authorizations, and resolve healthcare billing issues for patients and providers.
What I'm looking for
I've supported healthcare billing, insurance verification, and patient scheduling for Alorica, Trinity Mother Frances Hospitals and Clinics, ETMC, and other clinical organizations. In my current remote advocate and CSR work, I verify coverage, obtain pre-authorizations, resolve claims concerns, schedule appointments, and handle an average of 115 incoming calls daily.
Across more than 13 years in healthcare operations, I've managed claims, denials, copays, medical records, patient registration, coding, and HIPAA-compliant documentation. I work closely with patients, providers, clinical teams, and billing teams to keep care and reimbursement processes moving.
