What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values accuracy and patient care, with opportunities for growth.

With over 8 years of experience in insurance verification, I have honed my skills in managing payer communications and ensuring accurate benefit coordination. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have consistently met daily metrics and completed prior authorizations, all while maintaining effective communication with patients.

Currently, I serve as an Insurance Specialist at Abbvie Endocrinology, where I manage pharmacy benefits and engage with patients to clarify their insurance coverage. My proficiency in Salesforce, Epic, and Microsoft Office has enabled me to maintain high levels of accuracy and efficiency in my work. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to enhance patient access to essential healthcare services.
