What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance-focused billing/coding role where I can improve revenue cycles, ensure accurate claims (Texas Health/Life/Accident), lead teams, and advance into higher administrative responsibilities.

I am a seasoned medical biller and coder with experience across clinical and administrative settings, including hospital, physical therapy, and prosthetics coding. I specialize in accurate claims submission and compliance with Texas Health, Life, and Accident Insurance.

I have served as a Remote Customer Service Lead and HIM Coder, managing teams, coding patient records, and overseeing patient accounts for multiple clinics. I am proficient in Claimgear, Availaty (Navicare), Office Ally, Medisoft, Raintree RPM, Claim Shuttle, Optum, and the Microsoft Office suite.

I bring strong attention to detail, HIPAA compliance expertise, and a customer-focused approach to revenue cycle improvement. I am eager to take on roles that allow me to drive revenue, streamline claims processing, and advance into higher administrative responsibilities.
