Healthcare Customer Service Representative specializing in claims, eligibility, and patient advocacy through accurate, compliant support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a healthcare customer service professional with 4+ years of experience in high-volume call center and patient support environments, where I consistently prioritize customer satisfaction, accuracy, and compliance. I’m skilled in claims resolution, eligibility verification, healthcare billing support, and managing complex customer inquiries with clear, persuasive communication.
In roles supporting Medicare, Medicaid, and BFCC-QIO services, I help Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers with quality-of-care complaints, hospital discharge appeals, skilled service termination appeals, and Immediate Advocacy requests. I investigate and resolve concerns by coordinating with hospitals, physicians, providers, supervisors, and internal departments, while maintaining detailed case documentation and required turnaround times.
I bring strong administrative and technical capability to case work—verifying CPT/HCPCS codes, using EMR and healthcare systems, processing electronic faxes, and completing exact data entry tasks with attention to data integrity and HIPAA compliance. I’m motivated by fast-paced, remote environments and the opportunity to deliver dependable outcomes for patients, providers, and teams.
