What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a collaborative healthcare team where I can apply verification, prior-authorization, and denial-prevention expertise to improve front-end revenue cycle accuracy and patient satisfaction.

I am a detail-oriented insurance verification specialist with 12 years of experience verifying patient coverage, securing prior authorizations, and coordinating benefits across commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid payers. I consistently document verification status in EMR systems such as Epic to support accurate billing and minimize claim denials.

I have a track record of handling high daily volumes—verifying eligibility for 60+ patients per day—using portals like Availity, NaviNet, and payer websites, and collaborating with scheduling, front desk, and billing teams to optimize patient intake workflows. I maintain strict HIPAA compliance while resolving coverage issues and securing pre-certifications for diagnostics, procedures, and surgeries.

I hold a diploma in Medical Billing and Coding, was on the Dean's List, and am pursuing the CPC credential. I seek to contribute my analytical skills, clear customer communication, and denial-prevention expertise to a high-performing healthcare revenue cycle team focused on accuracy, compliance, and patient satisfaction.
