@ashiamcgee
Compassionate Licensed Practical Nurse with strong patient access and call-center expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a Licensed Practical Nurse with extensive hands-on clinical experience and recent roles in patient access and care navigation. I combine clinical skills—IV placement, CPR/AED certification—and strong customer-service abilities to support patient admissions, scheduling, and insurance verification in fast-paced healthcare settings.
In patient access and call center roles, I registered patients, verified Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance, collected copayments, and coordinated referrals using EMR systems such as Forcura, EPIC, Suncoast and related tools. I consistently prioritized patient privacy and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, EMTALA, AHCA, JCAHO) while delivering empathetic, efficient service.
I have a proven record of high performance in customer-facing environments—ranking in the top 2% at a previous advisor role—and a track record of dependable clinical care across multiple long-term care and clinic settings. I seek to bring clinical knowledge, strong communication, and billing/registration expertise to a patient-centered healthcare team.
