@carolinaortega
Bilingual medical billing specialist with strong claims, denials, and payment-posting expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual medical billing professional with over a decade of hands-on experience in claims processing, denials management, payment posting, and patient account reconciliation across Medicare, AHCCCS, Medicare Advantage, and commercial payers. I bring reliable, detail-oriented work habits and proven experience with hospital systems and billing software.
Throughout my career at Pathology Billing Services, I handled eligibility verification, charge entry, claim corrections, appeals and reconsiderations, and trained new staff. I consistently managed denials for a wide payer mix including UnitedHealthcare and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and prepared appeals attaching medical records when necessary.
I am HIPAA-certified, proficient with Excel, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Laserfiche, and familiar with hospital systems such as Banner, Dignity, Abrazo, and Abrazo (Tenet). I am excited to return to the corporate workforce and apply my skills to help improve revenue cycle processes and support organizational growth.
