I support dental and medical practices with insurance, claims, and scheduling.
What I'm looking for
I've supported San Francisco Dental in California as a Dental and Medical Virtual Assistant, handling inbound and outbound calls, patient scheduling, insurance eligibility verification, appointment reminders, and electronic health record updates.
Previously at Mirra Claims in Florida, I reviewed and adjudicated medical and dental insurance claims, applied CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS guidelines, and documented claim approvals, denials, and adjustments. I also verified member eligibility, provider credentials, and policy benefits while meeting productivity, accuracy, and turnaround targets.
At Optum Global Solutions supporting UHC Dental & Vision, I provided customer service, claims information, insurance verification, patient-record management, and claim adjustments while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
