What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote healthcare role where I can own HIPAA-compliant scheduling, insurance verification/prior auth, and EHR support—helping providers reduce delays, manage high volumes, and improve patient follow-through from day one.

I’m a Certified Medical Virtual Assistant and a licensed Doctor of Optometry (OD) with 9+ years of hands-on healthcare experience. I bring a clinical, HIPAA-certified mindset to remote workflows—handling patient communication, clinical terminology, and secure documentation with clarity and accuracy.

In my roles, I’ve owned high-volume front-office operations: scheduling, referral and recall support, insurance verification, prior authorization, and billing follow-ups. I’ve maintained EHR records for 500+ active patients and improved patient follow-up compliance by 25% by building structured reminder and recall systems.

I’m ready to deliver measurable value to US, UK, or global healthcare teams from day one. I leverage EHR/EMR systems and remote collaboration tools to reduce administrative delays, prevent scheduling errors, and support providers with efficient, HIPAA-compliant administrative care.
