Reliable healthcare professional with over 5 years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a reliable and detail-oriented healthcare professional with over five years of experience in healthcare administration, patient scheduling, records management, and insurance verification. My certifications in Medical Coding and CPR, along with my proven ability to handle high call volumes and ensure insurance eligibility, equip me to excel in the Scheduler Rep II role at Tenet Healthcare.
In my current position as an HIM Technician at Encompass Health, I maintain electronic medical records and assist with health data management, ensuring accuracy in patient documentation. My previous roles, including Unit Clerk and Rehab Tech, have honed my skills in coordinating patient admissions, discharges, and daily schedules while supporting smooth operations through effective communication with families and staff.
My commitment to patient care and organizational efficiency drives my professional ethos. I am eager to bring my strong communication and organizational skills to a dynamic team, where I can contribute to improving patient access and service.
