What I'm looking for

I seek remote US healthcare support roles focused on patient coordination, prior authorizations, and medical billing where I can apply HIPAA-compliant practices, improve claims workflows, and grow into broader administrative or specialist responsibilities.

I am a detail-oriented healthcare support professional with 6+ years' experience supporting US healthcare patients and payers, specializing in patient coordination, prior authorizations, and claims processing. I reliably manage high-volume tasks with accuracy, confidentiality, and clear communication.

I apply HIPAA-compliant documentation practices and medical billing knowledge (ICD-10, CPT) using CRM/EMR and MS Office tools to streamline workflows, resolve denials, and improve authorization turnaround. I thrive working independently in fast-paced remote environments and proactively optimize processes.
