Chinekqua Griffin

I am a dedicated precertification and authorization specialist with experience in hospital and outpatient settings, ensuring timely processing of authorizations and accurate insurance verification.

At Mayo Clinic I manage EPIC work queues, coordinate CPT and ICD-10 coding with surgical abstractors, and track authorizations for imaging, procedures and ancillary services to secure payment and continuity of care.

Previously, I coordinated referrals and authorizations at a multi‑specialty orthopedic practice and managed medical billing, claims appeals, and AR processes for a healthcare billing employer, developing strong knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid and major insurer portals.

I am detail-oriented, HIPAA‑compliant, proficient with EMR/EPIC and Microsoft Office, and committed to improving patient experience by synchronizing authorizations, scheduling and provider communications.
