I am a customer-focused dental billing specialist who improves collections and mentors teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a motivated dental billing and accounts receivable specialist with extensive hands-on experience posting insurance payments, auditing patient accounts, resolving claim rejections, and training staff. I have led teams, tracked performance metrics, and consistently met daily and monthly goals while working across multi-office dental practices.
I bring deep familiarity with dental practice management systems and insurance portals, a strong attention to detail, and a commitment to improving financial processes and patient experiences. I thrive in collaborative, patient-focused environments where I can apply problem-solving skills and mentor colleagues to improve accuracy and efficiency.
