I deliver empathetic healthcare customer support, resolving claims and scheduling issues while boosting member satisfaction.
What I'm looking for
I’m a collaborative, empathetic healthcare customer service professional with extensive experience supporting members and patients through benefits, eligibility, and claims. In remote roles, I verify member eligibility and update account information to help ensure accurate claims processing, while educating people on plan coverage, preventive care, prescription benefits, and cost-sharing responsibilities.
I’ve built my reputation on trust, clear communication, and HIPAA-compliant problem resolution—recognized for improving member satisfaction scores. From scheduling and refills to Medicaid/Medicare eligibility support and medical claims investigations, I consistently deliver solution-focused service in fast-paced environments, and I enjoy working with internal teams to resolve complex concerns.
