Connie Simms

I am a detail-oriented and organized Prior Authorization Specialist with over five years of experience in healthcare, specializing in obtaining prior authorizations for outpatient surgeries, medications, and radiology procedures. I consistently communicate with providers, insurance companies, and patients to gather clinical documentation, resolve discrepancies, and provide status updates while maintaining HIPAA confidentiality.

I have remote experience across major EHR/EMR systems (Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth) and a strong working knowledge of insurance portals, CPT/ICD-10 coding, and benefits verification. I seek a remote role where I can apply strong time-management, documentation, and patient-advocacy skills to improve authorization turnaround and support care delivery.
